What Are You Really Made to Do? | Coffee in the Shop ☕️

Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen with complete strangers. While traveling through River Falls, Wisconsin, Jeff found himself sharing a morning conversation with a mother visiting colleges with her daughter. What started as small talk soon became a deeper discussion about work, purpose, exhaustion, and the difficult reality many people face when they realize the path they've been on may be reaching its end. In this episode of Coffee in the Shop, Jeff explores the idea of life's "sigmoid curve"—those moments when one chapter begins winding down and another is waiting to begin. He reflects on the challenges faced by hardworking people who feel trapped in careers that no longer energize them and the importance of recognizing when it's time to start preparing for what's next. Jeff also shares an important lesson he relearned that morning: not everyone is looking for advice, even when we believe we have something helpful to offer. If you've ever felt stuck, burned out, or uncertain about your next season of life, this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear. The future isn't something you find. It's something you build through reflection, prayer, curiosity, and the courage to explore what you're truly called to do.
