Season 4, Episode 10 - Living Your 4000 Weeks

How many weeks do you have left? Today’s episode takes a deep dive into Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals and what it means for clergy, caregivers, and anyone who feels life slipping by while waiting for “someday.”

We’ll explore:

The math of mortality—4,000 weeks and why it matters.
The trap of waiting and how postponed living robs us of joy.
Embracing our limits as a spiritual discipline, not a weakness.
Practical shifts for living with more depth, presence, and meaning.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on autopilot, this conversation is your invitation to stop waiting and start living now.
