“LAUGH ‘TIL IT HURTS, SHED A TEAR IF YOU NEED TO, & BE INSPIRED TO STEP INTO THE MIDDLE.”
MATTHEW EMERZIAN | LIFE IN THE MIDDLE
There’s the day we were born, and the day we will leave this life. The rest Matt calls “The Middle.” The middle is where life happens. Where those profound instances, experiences, and universe-changing moments happen.
The middle is also the space between us, where we connect and feel what it is like to be human. And when we put down our technology and step out of our self-imposed safe places aside, we get to experience the magic of the middle.
Enjoy the presence and life-giving stories of how Matt’s friends found purpose and meaning while living on this crazy spinning rock.
