Consider someone thinking about retirement. Making a Living may be the category that opens the conversation. Financial questions follow. Health may affect timing. Family members may picture different futures. Work friendships may fade. A title may have become part of identity. Faith may ask what service looks like now. One experience can involve all seven areas; several categories can help us talk about it.
The seven areas keep us attentive to the whole life. The eleven categories keep the conversation recognizable. The nudge gives the conversation a next step.
LifeNudge begins with life as people actually live it. It asks real questions, admits uncertainty and failure, and offers an action small enough to try. It makes room for serious faith and outrageous fun.
Some pieces will name Jesus directly; others will explore an ordinary meal, memory, friendship, or afternoon. Faith should shape a subject when it belongs there, not appear as an ornament in the last paragraph.
The invitation is simple. Notice the part of life speaking loudest today. Ask what is true. Do one thing that matters. Then pay attention again.
You are older.
Fine.
You are not finished.
