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.

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.
