Do you ever feel like you’re lost in a sea of options and expectations when it comes to figuring out who you are and what you want to do with your life? Do you wonder if there’s more to life than just chasing after success, popularity, or happiness?

The article is full of interesting ideas and references from various sources, such as Carl R. Trueman, J. Richard Middleton, James K. A. Smith, and St. Augustine.
