Alex sits down with his pastor and friend, Jeremy Ashworth, to talk about what it really means to integrate every part of your life—faith, work, passions, and even the unexpected detours. Jeremy shares how the desert unlocked new layers of the Bible for him, why being risk-averse doesn’t mean avoiding bold moves, and how he and his wife made the wild decision to give a year’s salary to their church’s future. They talk about fear, purpose, and the tension between remembering the past and making space for what’s next. If you’ve ever felt stuck or questioned if you’re on the right path, this episode is definitely for you.
