God keeps his children through midlife crises by empowering them to keep fighting to be kept. Well, about a year ago we recorded an episode titled “My Midlife Crisis — and Counsel for Yours,” episode 1173 in the archive. It was a very personal, autobiographical account of a season of your life, Pastor John. It has now been listened to about 200,000 times. It has generated a load of grateful emails in the inbox. And since, we’ve gotten a lot of emails from guys going through this season of life who, well, just want you to talk more about it. Here’s one, from a listener named Leo. “Hello, Pastor John! Thank you for your APJ episode on your own midlife crisis. That’s where I’m at now, and you have helped me to see that I am not alone. Thank you! I was wondering if it was a combination of mission, life, stress, and genetics that caused you to feel at times like crying and having a deep sense of depression. It seems complex. I recently reached 43 years old and noticed some changes in my mood and extreme depression at times. Can you share more about your own experience?” Episode 1365: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-i-survive-this-midlife-crisis Related Resources: “My Midlife Crisis — and Counsel for Yours” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF1VD2sYTEs “Strategies for When Life Seems Aimless” https://youtu.be/wBHOhd92p6M “What’s the Point of My Life?” https://youtu.be/2TsReLCtgqA “How Do I Live the Authentic Christian Life?” https://youtu.be/YEuCW70ZnN8 “Three Steps to Stop Wasting Your Life” https://youtu.be/H8Y9DXNqFzc Ask Pastor John Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFF7F6AE365DA3564 Find other popular Ask Pastor John episodes, http://desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
