Finding Meaning in Your 20s: Faith, Philosophy & Becoming Fully Human | Chester J Delagneau

Chester J is an academic, author, apologist, and spoken word poet who blends theology, philosophy, and ethics into powerful storytelling. From award-winning spoken word poetry to imaginative fiction (including his newly published book Salvador), his work bridges the gap between truth and meaning — helping people think deeper about life, faith, and purpose.

In this thoughtful conversation, Chester shares:

• What he was focused on in his 20s and the search for meaning

• How travel, partying, and other paths still left him feeling lost

• The decision at age 25 that changed everything

• How his view of God evolved — from pure transcendence to the full humanity of Jesus

• What it really means to be “fully human” and flourish

• Why biblical happiness is different from cultural happiness

• How he blends imagination, theology, philosophy, and ethics in his work

• The importance of making sure creative expression points to truth

If you’re in your 20s searching for meaning, questioning faith, or trying to live a more integrated and purposeful life, this episode offers depth, honesty, and clarity.
