 🎙️ Episode Title: Meaning in Life with Dan Kent | The Stronghold Podcast 

🔥 Episode Summary 

In this episode of The Stronghold Podcast, host Dave Barton sits down with friend, author, theologian, and communicator Dan Kent to explore one of life’s most profound questions: What gives our lives meaning? 

Dan, known for his work with Greg Boyd and ReKnew.org, brings deep insight into the tension between purpose, suffering, and joy. Together, we unpack why chasing happiness often leaves us empty, how meaning differs from purpose, and what it truly looks like to live a life anchored in God. 

We discuss the role of faith, the challenges of identity in a distracted world, and why truth and capability matter more than ever. Whether you're feeling stuck or searching for direction, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to wrestle with the deeper questions and come out stronger. 

Topics: 

·        Genesis of a Friendship 

·        Rising above non-traditional family settings 

·        A way out of apathy, MEANING 

·        Evil presents a challenge to view of God 

·        God’s use of proximity in life 

·        Programs of life, Principalities of power
