Episode Description from the Publisher

In this bonus episode, we're continuing our series called "Spiritual Cartography" featuring cutting room floor content from the Practicing the Way book. Today, John Mark explores the concept of the "two halves of life"—a framework for understanding how our spiritual journey changes as we age. He unpacks the distinct tasks, temptations, and invitations of each season — from the energy and identity formation of youth, through the exhaustion and disillusionment of midlife, to the acceptance and generosity of our later years — showing us how faithfulness looks different at each stage and why the key to maturity is embracing the life we actually have, not the one we wish we had.Subscribe to the podcast to stay up to date on future episodes.To learn more about the book, visit www.practicingtheway.org/book.To learn more about Practicing the Way, visit www.practicingtheway.org.
