In this episode, David and Kyle explore the tension every young adult feels: the gap between where you are and where you think you should be. Joining them is former missionary and campus pastor Ben Stanton, who shares how he navigated massive uncertainty while serving in West Africa and raising a family.

In this episode, we cover:

• Ben’s transition from architecture school to the mission field.

• How to distinguish between a bold step of faith and acting recklessly.

• The importance of communal prayer and fasting in major life transitions.

• Why "Remember" is one of the most frequent command in the Bible.

How do we build genuine, loving friendships with people who don't share our faith without compromising our own convictions?

In this episode, we dive deep into the essential balance between influence and imitation. We explore how to maintain an authentic, Christ-centered life in any social circle, even when your core beliefs are viewed as "foolishness" by the world.
