If We Build It...(Part 4): IT | Jake Haber

In this message, we explore the mysterious and powerful idea of “IT”... that inner pulse, purpose, or pull that each of us carries.

 

When we stop forcing everything to make sense and become still, real and raw emotions begin to surface. Our inner world starts pointing toward the things that matter most. Sometimes that shows up as joy — the things that make us feel alive. Sometimes as ache — the compassion, heartbreak, or outrage that reveals where healing or action is needed. And sometimes as curiosity — the questions that won’t leave us alone.

 

By paying attention to these three signals, we begin to live in alignment with our deeper calling rather than the expectations around us. We move with resilience, clarity, and a grounded sense of direction — not because we have the answers, but because we’re finally listening.
