#27: Living in the Moment, Measuring in the Decade
from Ruck the Way · host Gabe Smith and Chris Furr
UPCOMING PILGRIMAGE: https://www.rucktheway.com/pilgrimageIn this profound episode of the Ruck the Way Podcast, hosts Chris and Gabe dive deep into how we evaluate our personal growth and spiritual maturity. Drawing from Morgan Snyder's book, Becoming a King, they challenge the modern urge to measure progress by daily increments, which often breeds self-criticism, impatience, and discouragement. Gabe shares vulnerable insights from his personal health journey and the realization that short-term charts often obscure long-term transformation. Together, they explore the concept of "living in the moment, measuring in the decade," demonstrating how looking backward over a ten-year horizon reveals deep emotional and narrative healing that daily check-ins completely miss. Shifting from frantic performance to micro-steps of awareness, this conversation offers a spacious, compassionate framework for anyone navigating midlife transitions, identity development, and the long, slow road of becoming who God called them to be.Know more about our cause: https://www.rucktheway.com/Subscribe to our Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@RucktheWayMeet the founders: https://www.rucktheway.com/about
