Education doesn’t stop at a diploma—and wisdom isn’t limited to a classroom. In this episode, Wisdom from a Dropout, we talk about why learning is a lifelong process, no matter where your path begins or how it unfolds. We explore the difference between a reason and an excuse, and how growth often comes down to personal responsibility and intentional effort.

It’s easy to get stuck looking backward—reliving past mistakes or resting in past victories. But life isn’t meant to be lived through the rearview mirror. In this episode, we talk about why what’s in front of you matters more than what’s behind you. Your past helped shape you, but it was never meant to define you. God still has purpose ahead, and there is more for you to step into.

Mistakes are part of being human. We all stumble, miss the mark, and make decisions we wish we could take back. But mistakes aren’t the end of the story—unless we refuse to learn from them. In this episode, we talk about how failure doesn’t have to define you. Instead, it can refine you. When we’re willing to reflect, grow, and let God shape us through our missteps, even our hardest moments can become powerful lessons. The only truly wasted mistake is the one we repeat because we never stopped to learn from it.

We often tell ourselves “someday.” Someday I’ll do that. Someday I’ll take the step. Someday I’ll follow the nudge I feel deep down. But what if someday never comes? In this episode, we talk about going to the end of the pier — choosing to do the things you feel called to do, even when it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. Life has a way of moving faster than we expect, and opportunities don’t always wait. The things we put off today may not be available to us later.

We often think the opposite of love is hate… but what if it’s actually fear? We fear what we don’t understand, and before we realize it, fear can begin to shape our thoughts, decisions, and daily lives. So how do we change that narrative? How do we move from living in fear to living in love?

Jesus’ coming was prophesied for hundreds of years. Israel was eagerly awaiting the Messiah. Yet when He arrived—born quietly in Bethlehem—a star announced His birth to the entire world… and still, most of Israel missed Him.
