Having money is certainly better than not having money. Money is a tool that allows you to live a comfortable lifestyle. Yet, money cannot guarantee that the lifestyle you're living is one that gives you purpose. For that, you must look beyond the assets you own and consider how you're using the wealth you've built. In this episode, we welcome financial advisor and author Barry Moschel to discuss his book Make It A Life Worth Living: Your Purpose, Health, and Legacy. Barry shares simple lessons on how to live a life with purpose, maximize your health, age gracefully, and create a legacy you will truly be proud of.

What do you do when you don't know what to do? Angela Williams Gorrell joins Mark Labberton to discuss her latest book, Braving Difficult Decisions. With poignant storytelling and theological depth, Gorrell shares how this book was born out of personal crucibles and a yearning to make sense of liminal, paralyzing spaces we all encounter—individually and communally. Together they explore how discernment is not just about decision-making but also about cultivating a life of wisdom, attentiveness, and spiritual depth. Rooted in Christian tradition yet capacious across communities and contexts, Gorrell invites listeners to slow down, ask deeper questions, and consider the spiritual, emotional, and communal terrain that shapes every meaningful decision. Episode Highlights “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “This journey is about an inward journey that says, how do I look at the state of my own soul?” “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good.” “What if the best idea isn't the good idea? And what if the data can't tell us that?” “Lady Wisdom invites us to dine—to sit at a table with God and others, and not rush the meal.” Helpful Links and Resources Braving Difficult Decisions, by Angela Williams Gorrell The Gravity of Joy, by Angela Williams Gorrell Life Worth Living course at Yale www.angelagorrell.com @angelagorrell on Instagram Show Notes The “liminal space” of facing a difficult decision, arriving at a crossroads Defining discernment as “a practice, not a single moment of choice” The book stems from her decision to leave a tenured-track faculty position, and a painful personal choice about marriage Perpetua and Felicity—early Christian martyrs Individual discernment and soul work Life Worth Living at Yale “Can I be suffering and my life still be good?” The deeply heartbreaking experience of grappling with the question of divorce “I really struggled to find a book that was like, you can be deeply Christian, deeply spiritual, and make this very difficult choice.” “You have to put them in your own heart and soul. You have to grapple with these ideas, and then you write them.” Should we avoid difficult decisions? Discerning, then acting “To not make a decision is to make one as well.” “I wanted to write a book that spoke to that liminal space where we feel paralyzed.” “Good decisions don't always feel good—they might still break your heart” Discusses difference between chronic pain and acute pain in decision-making Discernment helps identify not just what is “right,” but what leads toward peace Michaela O'Donnell and chronic pain Discernment is about “looking at the state of your own soul and becoming a steward of it” “This story that God is nurturing in the world—that story doesn't hinge on like this decision in your life.” Self-examination, and feeling alone in the decision Community-based decision-making “There are all these false binaries.” “What baggage do you have from the past? And how do you make sure that you're not seeing the present moment through the past?” Being as gracious as possible “ What is a way that we can create space to really hear from God?—to hear from each other, and to move forward in a way that we're doing change together and not to each other.” “They need to figure out something together that matters deeply.” The book offers a pathway for congregations and organizations discerning together “How do we do change with people?” Encourages communities to take time, name past wounds, and define who makes decisions Identifies the importance of setting clear expectations, timelines, and spiritual framing “Listening to everyone takes time, but it leads to deeper collective ownership.” Invites communities to ask: What values do we want to embody in this moment? “Sometimes the most valuable part of the process is the slowness.” Wisdom, complexity, and culture Decision-making in our polarized society must account for nuance, empathy, and complexity “What if the data tells us one thing, but the Spirit tells us something else?” Resist “data-driven” decisions as totalizing; discernment includes emotion, history, and spirituality. “Sometimes good decisions don't feel good, you know? Sometimes a life worth living is not about pursuing happiness.” “Lady Wisdom invites us to come and to dine at her house and to sit at a table together.” Names systemic fatigue: “Organizations optimize while their people starve.” Decision-making is affected by race, gender, trauma, context—“there is no one-size-fits-all path” Discernment as a practice, not a moment Braving Difficult Decisions includes exercises and frameworks, such as the “iceberg model” “Most big questions are like an iceberg. There's all this ice beneath the surface that you don't see. That's really the stuff that people are grappling with.” Encourages ongoing wisdom practices: surrender, self-reflection, value-alignment The book is not just a guide for one hard moment, but a long-term companion Ideal for pastors, therapists, educators, spiritual directors, and leaders About Angela Williams Gorrell Rev.

How can we cope with the loss of life's meaning and the helplessness that often accompanies it? What are the most common causes behind such a crisis? How can we signal our emotional state to those around us, and how can we support others in similar pain? How do we talk about difficult emotions, loneliness, and a sense of meaninglessness? What helped people who were close to that edge? What does science say about suicidal tendencies as a phenomenon? Can we better understand these circumstances and prevent tragedies more effectively? How does contemporary culture affect an individual's mental well-being? How is euthanasia perceived in light of today's psychiatric knowledge? These fundamental and deeply challenging questions were explored by psychiatrist Prof. Christian Rück from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, in conversation with psychologist and psychotherapist Dr. Marta Porębiak.

In this episode Aubrey sits down with entrepreneur, investor, and author Codie Sanchez to tackle one of life's most polarizing topics: money. Together, they unpack the emotional and philosophical weight of wealth, offering a fresh perspective on its role in our lives. The conversation begins with a provocative question: Is money the root of evil? From there, Codie challenges the notion that “net worth” equates to personal worth, exploring how financial success can coexist with personal fulfillment. The duo delves into the dual purposes of money—using it as a force for good and as a source of personal pleasure—while also addressing the competitive nature of life and the pitfalls of generational wealth. Codie's candid insights shine as she discusses why so many spiritual individuals struggle with finances, the importance of building a personal reward system, and how honesty and authenticity can transform your relationship with money. The episode also touches on using money as a reliable scoreboard for success, the art of balancing imitation, iteration, and innovation in business, and finding beauty in life's mundane moments. As the conversation deepens, Codie shares her belief that we are all meant to build something meaningful. She and Aubrey examine the standards we set for ourselves in life and business, as well as the fears of both failure and success that can hold us back. This episode is a masterclass in redefining success and creating a life of purpose and abundance. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a spiritual seeker, or simply curious about the intersection of wealth and meaning, this conversation will leave you inspired and empowered to rethink your relationship with money.

She shares stories of visiting charming small towns, getting lost in scenic landscapes, and experiencing a slower, more intentional pace of life. One thing that struck her was how deeply Italians seem to value the essence of being human. Whether it was in their daily routines or the way they savored meals, everything felt more deliberate and less rushed. Compared to the fast-paced lifestyle back home, Nila found herself appreciating the beauty in simply existing, being present in each moment. Join us as we dive into her reflections on travel, culture, and the importance of stepping away to find balance. We love you all so, so much!

What makes a life worth living? This question has animated great thinkers and faith traditions for millennia. Interestingly enough, in our time of rapid globalization, technological advancement, and material abundance, we often seem more unmoored from our conception of the self and its relation to the world than ever before.Our guest on this episode, Miroslav Volf, has spent his life wrestling with this question of questions and helping others to do the same. Volf is a professor of theology at Yale Divinity School and founding director of the Yale Center for Faith and Culture, and his work explores the intersections of faith, identity, and public life. He is the author of more than 10 books, including the bestselling Life Worth Living: A Guide to What Matters Most (2023), based on one of the most popular courses at Yale University, which he co-teaches. The book, an inquiry into the nature of human flourishing, invites readers to consider wisdom drawn from various religious, philosophical, and literary traditions. He challenges the often superficial metrics of happiness promoted by modern society, urging readers to reflect deeply on the kind of life they want to lead — one that is not just pleasurable or successful by conventional standards, but that is positively shaped by adversity, contemplation, and interconnectedness.In our conversation, we discuss how growing up as the son of a Pentecostal minister in Former Yugoslavia influenced Volf's relationship with Christian theology, why faith is a “comfortably difficult” thing, why “finding your authentic self” is a problematic concept in modern culture, how social media, divisive political currents, and the relentless drive for productivity distract us from what matters most, and the nobility in pursuing a richer, more intentioned, and just life.In this episode, you'll hear about:3:12 - What Volf's work as a systematic theologian entails, and key childhood experiences that shaped his relationship with faith12:18 - The philosophical basis for the Yale class that inspired the book Life Worth Living 20:23 - Why Volf uses Smokey Bear as a representation of the pursuit of a meaningful life26:53 - Shifting the focus of life from personal desires toward the quest to live by “truth”40:38 - The inherent challenge in shifting focus away from “I, Me, and Mine”45:49 - How the search for a meaningful life relates to the experiences of a medical professional51:42 - Advice for how to add philosophical practices to a busy modern lifeMiroslav Volf is the author of 17 books, including Life Worth Living (2023)Past episodes discussed in this episode:Episode 95: Shaping a Soul, Building a Self | William DeresiewiczEpisode 21: Pain, Pleasure, and Finding Balance | Anna Lembke, MDVisit www.TheDoctorsArt.com for transcripts of all episodes.
