Drawing from Isaiah 43, Psalm 90, and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning , Josh walks through what it looks like to grieve the past well, release the assignments of old, and step fully into the season God has for your family right now. He further unpacks how sweetening retrospect—or nostalgically living in the past—can breed depression, how anxiety about the future keeps us from the present, and why the mundane drive-time moments are shaping the hearts of your children more than you realize. A practical, honest reset if you're catching yourself distracted or not as intentional as you wish you might be. ** Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!
