No optimistic 18 year old expects to be jaded and cynical by the age of 35, yet it happens all the time. Life has a way to sucking the hope and joy out of us. What happens is we run into obstacles none of us ever expected, but we all end up experiencing. Research shows we all struggle with these issues, but it seems no one ever sees them coming.
The good news is we can find solutions to these obstacles, solve them & even see them coming by looking for answers in the ancient truth of scripture. Plus there’s HOPE!
5 Obstacles no one expects but everyone experiences:
- Obstacle 1: Loneliness
Even in our hyperconnected world we still feel disconnected. - Obstacle 2: Cynicism
Who can we trust in an age of myths and fake news? - Obstacle 3: Emptiness
No matter how big and full our lives get we feel empty within. - Obstacle 4: Burnout
When we are just done or over it, we’ve burnt out. - Obstacle 5: Insecurity
It turns our our lack of confidence is really misplaced confidence.
