Welcome to The Intentional Life, a show where I share thoughts on habit building, faith, culture, and what I’m learning, to help you think deeper and live more intentionally.

This episode is brought to you by The Best Minute, my very own newsletter that helps you build better habits, become more productive, and maximize your life. All in about 60 seconds per week.

And if you want to save time, increase your focus, and become more efficient so that you can live a life that matters, be sure to check out my flagship course Shave 10 Hours Off Your Workweek.

In this episode, I explore themes of personal growth, biblical interpretation, and culture. I reflect on whether we need to try harder or try something different in areas like habits and faith. I then unpack the Bible’s perspective on slavery. I also examine cultural views on sex and marriage, and review Brad Wilcox’s book Get Married, which highlights the benefits of commitment for happiness and well-being.
