Episode 44: Mid-Life: Reinforcing Holes

from The Ridiculous Hour · host The Ridiculous Hour Foundation

The phrase mid-life is curious, isn't it? Especially when we have no way of knowing where the middle will be. Which is why mid-life tends to have us reinforcing holes. Asking questions like: “What have I left undone?” “What should I be doing in the time I have left?” Our mission story begins with an invite to give a TED-style talk and how it moved a mid-lifer to face a stereotype he hid behind... It ends with God reinforcing the holes in that adopted identity… And somewhere in the middle, we hear how the holes were filled: "The best analogy I have is a pair of jeans with worn out knees. When you run your hand over that part you feel something in the thin place that you don’t feel on the rest of your legs. The presence of the Lord was overwhelming." Curious? We sure hope so! Join Kat Silverglate, founder of the Mobile Mission Project at the Ridiculous Hour Foundation, for the August 2023 Mobile Mission launch – Mid-life: Reinforcing Holes. If you'd like the physical Mobile Mission Pack discussed in this podcast, go to TheRidiculousHour.com and we’ll get one in the mail to you right away [free while supplies last]. *** Always with joyful gratitude to our sound editor, Shannon Alderman, for her creative work on this episode.
