How to Embrace Life at Age 40 | GOF28
What does life look like at Age 40? For me, I’ve spent the better part of a year getting ready for a single event — my birthday and turning 40 years old. The reason why it was such an event was directly related to the false expectations I had with turning forty. So in this episode, I want to share with you some insights I have gained over the year and why I’m excited about the next 40 years!

Smitty’s Tip of the Week | Book Recommendation
John Bloom’s book, “Don’t Follow Your Heart — God’s Ways Are Not Your Ways.”
I can’t recommend this book enough. In the opening, he writes the following, “This is a book to help you with heart problems. Because your biggest problems in life are heart problems.” Much of life’s problems start with our heart problems. Go and buy this book.
