Complacency rarely crashes in. It drifts in.

In this episode, Megan and I introduce Part Two of Everyday Adventure — Resist Complacency — and talk about the subtle ways we start skimming our lives instead of fully living them.

We cover:

• What complacency really is (not failure — drift)

• Why comfort can quietly steal curiosity and growth

• The three chapters in this section:

  • Cultivate Curiosity

  • Become a Lifelong Learner

  • Ditch Your Comfort Zone

• Where complacency shows up most in everyday life

• Practical ways to step outside your comfort zone (even in small ways)

We also explore why curiosity is the gateway to adventure — and how asking better questions can wake us up again.

🧭 This Week’s Challenge: Ask Better Questions

Take one ordinary question and make it more curious.

“How are you?” → “What’s been taking up the most space in your mind lately?”
“What did you do this weekend?” → “What was a highlight?”

Stay awake. Resist the drift.

Adventure is closer than you think.

What if the life you’re looking for is waiting right where your feet already are?

In Episode 6, I sit down with Jordan Smucker, lead and founding pastor of Ethos Church in Columbus, OH, for a conversation about what it truly means to be where your feet are.

We talk about:

• Why intentionality is at the core of a meaningful life

• The hard conversation that pushed Jordan into a more intentional way of living

• Practical rhythms that help us resist autopilot

• What presence actually looks like in real, everyday moments

This one is honest, practical, and deeply grounding. Because it’s easy to chase “out there” when God is inviting us to show up right here.

Face Down Phone Challenge

Put your phone face down:

• At meal times

• At the end of the night

• During key conversations

Limit screen time so you can be more present and engaged with the people in front of you.

Less scrolling.
More noticing.
More being where your feet are.

Adventure is closer than you think.

🎯 This Week’s Everyday Adventure Challenge:

What if adventure doesn’t begin when life changes… but when you pay attention?

In this episode, Stephen and Megan break down the first major section of Everyday Adventure: Pursue Intentionality.

You’ll hear the heartbeat behind three foundational chapters—Place Your Pins, Maximize the Mundane, and Slow Down—and why intentionality is the starting point for living a meaningful life. Stephen shares the story behind aiming at the wrong target, why over 80% of life is made up of ordinary moments, and how margin creates space for the kind of adventure most of us are longing for.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on autopilot, rushing through your days, or waiting for “someday” to feel alive again—this episode is for you.

Adventure doesn’t begin somewhere else.
It begins where you are.
