info_outlineIn this episode, I was privileged to have my friend and author, Paul Angone, share his story with me. After graduating from college, Paul walked through a season of wrestling with what life looked like as a 20-something in the process of growing up. God has used Paul's pain in that wrestling to be turned into the purpose He has called Paul to. For the last decade, Paul has been writing and speaking to and for the Millennial generation as they walk through their own journeys of "what now?". With humor, wisdom, and profound insight, throughout our conversation Paul reflected on his experience of that season and encouragement for anyone walking through their own season of wrestling and uncertainty. Enjoy!
