This week, Matt is joined by Keith Langan from Columbia Threadneedle to explore the complexities of retirement, focusing on seven key aspects that are often overlooked.

Contrary to common perception, retirement is not just a celebration of newfound freedom; it can be one of life’s most stressful transitions. Leaving the structured rhythm of work can bring losses in routine, identity, community, and purpose. Keith highlights the importance of preparing not only financially but also mentally and emotionally for this major life stage. Retirement can be approached with a sense of purpose and connection, rather than merely stepping away from work, to ensure a truly fulfilling and meaningful experience.

They break down the addiction cycle in simple terms, exploring the triggers that push kids toward unhealthy coping habits and the emotional pain that often sits beneath those patterns.

You’ll hear practical, non-negotiable strategies that every parent can use to help their children build emotional awareness and resilience, so they can face difficult feelings without turning to harmful escapes. Throughout the conversation, Lyndon highlights the power of humility, authentic connection, and cultivating a deeper relationship with God as essential tools for navigating life’s challenges.

This week, Lyndon Azcuna returns to discuss the complex realities of addiction, personal crises, and the transformative power of healing within community. Matt and Lyndon unpack the many layers of addiction, exploring not only the behavioral aspects but also the emotional and psychological roots that often fuel these struggles.

Lyndon shares why true healing goes far beyond managing symptoms; it requires understanding the deeper issues of the heart and building genuine, supportive relationships.
