Episode Description:

We all start something with a reason. A passion. A purpose. But life gets busy, things shift, and somewhere along the way we stop asking why. In Genesis 30, Rachel and Leah are deep in a rivalry that started over love — and has quietly turned into something they probably don't even recognize anymore. Chad digs into one of the strangest and most overlooked moments in the story to ask a question we all need to sit with: have you lost your why?

• Why kids ask "why" — and why we stop
• The slow drift that happens when we forget what we are really fighting for
• The mandrake exchange — one of the most transactional and heartbreaking moments in Genesis
• How Rachel, Leah, and even Jacob all lost their why without realizing it
• The greatest why in history — and why His never changed even when yours did
• A challenge to go find your why again — or discover a brand new one

"It is never a big obvious sign sitting in front of you saying 'ask yourself why.' It just slowly shifts day by day until one day you look up and you are trading mandrakes for something you used to hold sacred."
