My Search for Meaning and Purpose

In April of 2020 I had an unexpected faith crisis. At the time I felt that a lot was being taken away from me, except for my reputation. However, when I found out that my neighbor was spreading false rumors about me I thought, "If there is a God why did He allow this to happen?" As soon as I thought this my spiritual anchor was gone, but I was able to work through my faith crisis. But from that experience I learned how important and grounding my faith is to me. On this episode I explore how people find meaning and purpose through religion. Also we have reached the end of this exploration.

In October of 2021 I found myself unemployed for the second time that year and for the next 6 months I struggled to find employment. During this time I felt that I was lacking meaning and purpose.
