What if the faith we’re longing for isn’t something new—but something we once knew?

In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we reflect on Jesus’ invitation to become childlike again. Not childish—but trusting. Not naive—but surrendered. Children show us a kind of faith that comes freely, loves deeply, and rests without striving.

As adults, life teaches us to rely on ourselves, manage expectations, and carry burdens quietly. But the Kingdom of God doesn’t advance through self-dependence—it flows through hearts that are humble, open, and fully trusting the Father.

This episode is a gentle reminder that you are still God’s child. You are still held. And you are still invited to come—just as you are.

Life often reflects what we carry within. In the pressures of midlife, it’s easy to feel the weight of stress, constant giving, and the quiet longing to feel joy again. In this episode, we look into the mirror of the heart through personal reflection and God’s Word—discovering not only who we are, but who God is shaping us to become. A gentle invitation to realign your heart, reflect Christ, and rediscover peace and purpose in everyday life.

We all want the breakthrough—but God doesn’t bless shortcuts. In this episode, we examine why disobedience always leads to defeat and how God uses setbacks to protect, realign, and restore us. Through the story of Ai, you’ll be challenged to consider whether resistance is rejection—or a loving stop sign from God. A timely reminder that obedience, even when costly, always leads to lasting victory.

There are seasons when following God feels isolating—when obedience costs more than expected and faith isn’t affirmed by the crowd. In this episode, we sit with the story of Elijah and the kind of courage it takes to remain faithful when the world is moving in another direction. Standing Alone with God is an invitation to slow down, prepare your heart, and trust God beyond outcomes. It’s a reminder that faith doesn’t require certainty or approval—only a willing heart anchored in Him.

Drawing from the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17, this episode speaks to the quiet struggles so many carry into January—fear, grief, anxiety, exhaustion, uncertainty, and the weight of the unknown. You’ll be reminded that while giants may appear overwhelming, the God who walks with you is greater than anything you face.

If you’re entering this year tired, hopeful, hesitant—or somewhere in between—this episode is an invitation to stop running from the giants and start standing in the strength of God’s presence.

Resolutions vs. Revelation isn’t just a New Year episode — it’s an invitation to lay down the pressure you’ve been carrying and step into a different kind of beginning. If you’re tired of writing goals that start with hope but end in exhaustion, this conversation is for you. Together, we slow the noise, release the weight of self-imposed expectations, and open our hearts to God’s direction instead of striving for control.

Rooted in Proverbs 16:9, this episode gently reframes the question from “What am I going to fix this year?” to “Lord, what are You revealing to me in this season?” It’s about trading performance for presence, force for faith, and overwhelming plans for God-led steps. If you’re entering the New Year carrying unfinished dreams, quiet disappointment, or a longing for peace instead of pressure, this episode will meet you right where you are — and remind you that revelation from God can change a year more deeply than any resolution ever could.

Christmas is meant to shine, yet for many it feels heavy and hurried. In this episode of Midlife Awakening, Zee invites you to pause and remember where true joy is found.

Through the story of the shepherds in Luke 2, we’re reminded that joy entered the world not through perfection, but through presence. In the quiet of an ordinary night, Jesus—the promised Messiah—came near.

If this season feels full but your heart feels tired, this episode offers a gentle truth: joy is not something you create. It is Someone you receive. And He meets you right where you are.

Joy isn’t found in a perfect Christmas—it’s found in Jesus Christ - the perfect Savior.

Not every Christmas feels bright. Some seasons carry quiet heartache—old memories, loneliness, or a heaviness no one else can see. In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we reflect on the steady promise that Jesus, the Light of the World, still steps into the dark places of our lives with hope, peace, and gentle strength.

Through Scripture, reflection, and heartfelt encouragement, you’ll be reminded that God’s presence meets you exactly where you are—and that His light continues to break through, even when your season feels dim.

May this Christmas be filled with hope, peace, and faith in Jesus—the Light of the World.
