17Twenty

Time has a funny way of slipping by. Sometimes it's just a week or a month; sometimes it's entire years.

On today's episode, we grapple with this feeling, acknowledging that it's the rich blend of our experiences, not just the ticking clock, that molds us into who we are. The enduring wisdom of Dale Payne [E087] becomes an anchor for us as we talk through various seasons of life and remind listeners to cherish each interaction with the keen awareness that the unpredictability of life makes these moments invaluable.

Closing with reflections on the role of faith and community during the toughest seasons, we share stories of silent support, the power of presence, and the immense strength drawn from a tribe that stands steadfastly by your side.

Last week we had some tech troubles with the episode ... but we fixed it! We worked with tech support for our podcasting provider to find lower-quality backup files and took those files to remix the episode for this week. Most of the back-half of the episode made it on the air last week; but the first part, which we thought was LOST, has been found.

You may recall that we had a similar issue back in April of 2022. Same provider. Same tech support to the rescue!

It's a new year!

... but we had some of the same tech troubles this week.

Kevin and Stewart tried out a new "on the road" format and the recording dipped pretty significantly, cutting short the episode. However, what remained is classic first-of-the-year 17Twenty content about goal setting and accountability as the guys challenge each of you to make 2024 the best year ever!

Burnout and exhaustion are terms that most of us have become all too acquainted with, especially after the trials of 2020. We know the signs too well; irritability, sleeplessness, loss of vision - but do we know how to effectively address them? And more importantly, do we know when we need to pause and seek help?

This episode is a candid exploration of these questions, with insights from our special guest, Wes Butler. Together, we unpack the importance of self-awareness and holistic evaluation, using the metaphor of an EKG (Evaluate Everything, Kill What's Killing You, and Grow What's Good). We delve into the concept of 'vampire power' - those sneaky energy-drainers that lurk in our daily lives - and how identifying these is the stepping-stone to implementing necessary changes.

But it's not all about the negatives. Wes shares how to grow what's good in our lives and find time for things that bring us joy and health. And finally, we shed light on the often-overlooked spiritual dimension of burnout. We explore biblical principles of confession and repentance, illuminating how these can pave the path to healing and freedom.
