In this special 150th episode, host Lantz Howard steps away from guest interviews for a personal, reflective solo conversation. Five years after launching the podcast with John Eldredge’s Daily Prayer, Lantz shares honest thoughts on the journey so far, the power of slowing down, and the importance of stewarding the unique calling God has placed on each of us.

Key topics include:

Why generosity and emptying ourselves for others is at the heart of wholehearted leadership
The danger of protecting our gifts instead of releasing them for kingdom impact

Lantz also shares how he’s currently reading The Bible Recap by Tara-Leigh Cobble alongside his wife Jessica and how this rhythm of Scripture, worship, and journaling helps him stay integrated in identity, marriage, and vocation.
