Ep. 100 - From Prodigal to Purpose: Jeff Olds on Redemption and Responsibility

In this deeply authentic episode of Greatness From Small Beginnings, Keith sits down with Jeff Olds for a transparent, no-holds-barred dialogue on the messy, beautiful journey of spiritual maturity. Together, they unpack:

• Jeff’s personal story of faith, failure, and redemption.
• The struggle between ego, humility, and letting go of self-righteousness.
• How our past actions, mindsets, and behaviors can block blessings—and how to shift them.
• The difference between happiness and joy, and how purpose is rooted in Christ.
• The metaphor of Christianity as a trajectory—how small daily decisions shape our destiny.
• The power of vulnerability, especially from older mentors, and why humility is a strength.
• Letting go of expired relationships and seasons to make room for growth.
• Ecclesiastes, and how Jeff is learning to meditate slowly on scripture instead of rushing.

Jeff also shares vivid stories from work, family, and spiritual mentorship that will hit home for anyone who's wrestled with identity, anger, or feeling unworthy of grace.

This episode is an invitation to look in the mirror—and look up.
