    Show Notes: God Jots – Episode 219: Life Is Not Just the Prize: Why the Path Matters

    In this soul-searching episode, Ender Bowen dives deep into the true meaning of success and what it really means to "make it." Rather than rushing toward the finish line, Ender invites us to slow down and recognize the hidden treasures found within the journey itself. Drawing from personal experiences, pop culture (think Frodo and the Lord of the Rings), and moments of self-reflection, he explores how our path—complete with setbacks, small victories, and unexpected detours—shapes us into the people we're meant to become.

    Expect to laugh, reflect, and maybe even reconsider your own ambitions as Ender poses important questions: Are you missing out on the real prize by focusing only on the end goal? How can you embrace the present moments, learn from stumbles, and walk more intentionally on the path set out for you?

    Topics Covered:

    • Why the journey matters as much as the destination

    • How ambition can sometimes blind us to life’s real lessons

    • The value of setbacks, resilience, and camaraderie

    • Pop culture wisdom from Lord of the Rings

    • Practical tips for realigning when you’ve lost sight of your path

Spoiler—it’s not just you, and I’m right there with you, even if it sometimes looks like I’ve got this all figured out.I get real about my own experiences: yes, there are moments when talking with God feels natural, but there are just as many times when I’m shouting into the void, hoping for even a whisper in return. In this episode, I explore why that sense of silence happens, and reveal the often surprising reason behind it—the lack of a sacred, intentional space to connect.I break down what a “sacred space” really means (hint: it doesn’t have to be a stained-glass chapel or a perfect Instagram-ready nook) and share practical, down-to-earth ideas for carving out a spot that’s just for you and God—whether that’s a quiet corner, a park bench, or even the closet floor.Here’s what you’ll get in this episode:Honest stories about my own spiritual ups and downs (and a little playful marital banter for good measure!)Why finding a sacred space is a game-changer for actually hearing GodCreative suggestions to help you claim your own special spot—no matter where you live or how much space you haveHow removing distractions can help you tune into what God might be saying—and what to expect when the answer isn’t what you hoped forYour turn:Do you have a sacred space?
