• What Really Matters in Your 20s (It’s Not What You Think)

  Most people spend their entire life chasing the wrong thing and they don’t realize it until something in them breaks. I know, because that was me. For years I obsessed over the what of my life — the achievements, the next move, the next milestone and ignored the far more important question: Who am I becoming? And it cost me more than I expected. In this episode, I share the moment I realized success had taken more from me than it gave, the move to Nashville that helped rebuild me, and the conversations that reframed what truly matters in this decade of becoming. If you feel lost, pressured to “figure it out,” or like you’re running faster but feeling emptier — this one’s for you. I’m building a deeper space for weekly essays, reflection, and real community around the journey of becoming. Sign up here: https://darinstarks.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices.

• If You Feel Lost in Your 20s, Watch This.

  If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to have life “figured out” by now…but somehow you’re still waking up questioning everything purpose, direction, identity this episode is for you. Lately it’s felt like I’m going through a quarter-life crisis every single week, and I’m realizing I’m not the only one. No one actually knows what they’re doing, even if they look like they do. And honestly? There’s something freeing about admitting that. I’m opening up about what it’s been like to outgrow old versions of myself, wrestle with uncertainty, and rethink what “purpose” even means in adulthood. Not in a heavy, dramatic way just in a real, human way. The kind of talk you’d have with a friend on a late night drive. We’re exploring identity shifts, letting go of who we thought we had to be, and giving ourselves permission to evolve even when it feels scary or confusing. If you’ve been feeling lost, in transition, or just not fully at home in your current season, I think this will meet you right where you are.

• Feeling Empty Inside? Here’s What You’re Really Missing

  Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Why do I still feel empty when everything seems fine?” You’ve got goals, friends, maybe even faith—but somehow, something still feels off. I know that feeling well. For a long time, I chased things that promised to fill me success, approval, comfort, distraction but no matter what I reached for, it never lasted. The truth is, that emptiness isn’t random. It’s what happens when we’re disconnected from the very Source of life itself. In this episode, I want to help you see why that emptiness exists and how the gospel is actually the answer to it. Because the reason Jesus had to die is that most of us are dead and don’t even know it. If you’ve ever felt numb, tired of going through the motions, or just ready to feel alive again, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what you’re really missing and how to find life again in Him.

• How to Know If It’s GOD or Just Your Thoughts

  Have you ever thought you heard God… but later realized it might’ve just been you? I used to feel so confident about what I thought God was saying — until I realized most of what I “heard” was just my own emotions talking.I’d pray, feel peace for a second, and then doubt everything again. And if you’ve ever wondered, “Was that God’s voice, or just my thoughts?” — you’re not crazy. In this episode, I’m going to show you how to tell the difference between God’s voice and your own, so you can finally stop second-guessing and start hearing Him clearly.

• How to Read the Bible (And Actually Hear God’s Voice)

  Most people read the Bible to get information — but God gave it to us for intimacy. In this episode, I’ll show you how one simple question can transform your Bible reading into a real, two-way conversation with God. If you’ve ever felt distant from God or wondered why you can’t hear His voice, this will help you experience Scripture the way He intended — relationally, not religiously.
