When Meaning Breaks Down
In this episode of the Infinitely Precious Podcast, James reflects on what happens when meaning begins to break down—when the frameworks, beliefs, and stories that once held our lives together no longer make sense. Drawing from his own evolving faith, contemplative practice, and experiences of uncertainty, he names the ache of living in liminal, threshold spaces where answers are scarce and questions abound. Rather than rushing to reconstruct old certainties, James invites listeners to stay with the ungroundedness, to ask gentle and honest questions, and to notice what remains and what is quietly emerging. Even in seasons of meaninglessness, he reminds us, we are still infinitely precious and unconditionally loved, and sometimes it is letting go that creates the space for a deeper, more authentic meaning to arise.
