## Resource

In your 20s, it can feel like you’re doing everything right… and still somehow falling behind. You’re working, trying to build a life you actually want, navigating relationships, figuring out your faith, and instead of clarity, you’re left with more questions. About God. About timing. About who you’re supposed to become. And if you’re honest, sometimes it feels like everyone else got the memo except you. In this episode, I sit down with Hank Smith - BYU professor and co-host of the Follow Him podcast - to talk about what’s actually going on underneath that feeling. Because what if the reason you feel disconnected from God isn’t because you’re doing something wrong? What if it’s because no one ever taught you what that relationship is supposed to feel like? We talk about spiritual disconnection, overthinking, feeling behind in life, and how to build a relationship with God that actually feels real; not forced, not performative, but personal. This episode is for anyone who: feels like their life doesn’t look how they thought it would is tired of feeling behind struggles to feel close to God or just wants something that feels honest and grounding You’re not behind. You’re not forgotten. And you’re not doing this wrong. In this episode, we talk about: Why feeling “behind” might not mean what you think it does What to do when you feel disconnected from God The gap between expectations vs. reality in your 20s How to actually build a relationship with God Why your life still has purpose, even if it doesn’t look how you planned If this episode resonates with you, send it to someone who’s been feeling the same way.
