In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we uncover how God often hides His greatest miracles in the most ordinary moments. From everyday routines to unexpected interruptions, the Lord uses simple things to reveal His extraordinary grace and purpose.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life is too plain, too quiet, or too late to matter — this episode will remind you that nothing is ordinary when God is in it. When we open our eyes, even the mundane becomes miraculous.

God doesn’t waste the simple. He transforms it.

“Follow your heart.” — it sounds inspiring, but what if it’s quietly leading us off course?

In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we hold this popular advice up to the light of Scripture. Learn why the Bible calls the heart deceitful, how to guard it, and what it really means to trust the Lord with all your heart. True peace doesn’t come from following your feelings — it comes from following Jesus.

In this powerful episode of Midlife Awakening, host Zee unpacks the strange yet deeply revealing story of Balaam—the prophet who loved the wages of wickedness and was rebuked by God through a talking donkey (2 Peter 2:15–16).

What does this ancient story have to do with us today? Everything. Because just like Balaam, we often do things for selfish gains and ambition, ignoring God's will, ignore the warnings—the stress, the fatigue, the inner nudge that says “slow down”—until God has to send something (or someone) to stop us before we destroy ourselves.

Whether you’re in midlife or just starting out, this episode invites you to recognize your own “talking donkey moment”—that divine interruption meant not to punish you, but to protect you.

🎧 Tune in and discover how God’s mercy sometimes sounds like a “no,” feels like a roadblock, and yet saves your life.

Iron Sharpens Iron: Friends Who Make You Better

Are your friendships sharpening you—or dulling you?

In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we unpack Proverbs 27:17:

“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Surface-level friendships may fill your calendar, but they won’t strengthen your soul. Don’t settle for shallow connections—build friendships that truly make you better.

The Forty-Year Detour: How Disobedience Steals Your Promised Rest

Have you ever felt like your life is on repeat—circling the same struggles, patterns, or prayers that never seem to change? In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we revisit Israel’s 40-year journey in the wilderness and uncover a hard but freeing truth: sometimes the delay isn’t God’s doing—it’s ours.

Through this powerful biblical reflection, discover how disobedience can quietly rob us of peace, purpose, and the rest God has promised. Learn what it truly means to “enter God’s rest” by trading control for trust and delay for obedience.

If you’re tired of spiritual detours and ready to walk in alignment with God’s will, this episode will guide you toward softening your heart, stepping out in faith, and finally entering your Promised Land.

Tune in and rediscover that the God who sustained you in the wilderness is the same God who will lead you into your rest.

The Contentment Crucible: Finding Peace Independent of Your Possessions

Are you running a race you can never win — chasing “more” but never feeling full? In this episode of Midlife Awakening, we uncover the timeless secret Paul learned while sitting in a prison cell: that true peace isn’t found in what we own, but in Who owns our heart.

Discover how to cultivate contentment that thrives in both lack and abundance, how to live as a steward rather than an owner, and how to anchor your identity in Christ rather than in your circumstances. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I’ll be happy when…,” this episode will remind you that peace begins the moment you say, “Christ is enough.”

Encouraging, spiritual, and practical — this message is a heart reset for anyone tired of chasing fulfillment outside of God.

How often do we speak before we really listen — to people, or even to God?

In this episode of Midlife Awakening, Zee explores the spiritual discipline of communication: how learning to hear from God first transforms the way we speak to others.

From conversations with family to self-talk and prayer, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and realign your words with the heart of Jesus.

Because before you speak, God may already be speaking — guiding you toward wisdom, peace, and grace.

When was the last time you felt truly rested—mind, body, and spirit? In this episode of Midlife Awakening, Zee shares how rest is not something you earn once your work is done, but a divine gift God invites you to receive. Many of us aren’t lazy—we just don’t make time to pause. From God’s rhythm of creation to Jesus’ example of retreat, this conversation unpacks why real renewal happens when you rest in all three dimensions: your mind, your body, and your spirit. You’ll also discover that rest isn’t always about stillness—sometimes it’s found in creating, connecting, or enjoying life in ways that restore your soul.
