In this heartfelt, humorous, and deeply human conversation, Ian sits down with longtime friend — artist, filmmaker, professor, and Enneagram Seven — Steve Taylor. You may know him as the legendary provocateur who "invented irony for Christians," but in this episode, we explore the terrain beneath the creativity, the energy, and the relentless forward motion that has defined so much of his life. Together we wade into the deeper waters of the second half of life — aging, character, grief, spiritual maturity, limitations, and the sacred invitation to move from doing to being. Steve speaks candidly about the shifting landscape of life at 67: <ul data-start="1106" data-end="1442"> <li data-start="1106" data-end="1145"> the habits that no longer serve him </li> <li data-start="1146" data-end="1184"> the tender emergence of compassion </li> <li data-start="1185" data-end="1237"> learning to sit with grief rather than outrun it </li> <li data-start="1238" data-end="1279"> the uncomfortable art of slowing down </li> <li data-start="1280" data-end="1340"> how filmmaking and teaching have reshaped his inner life </li> <li data-start="1341" data-end="1442"> and the courageous (and often comical) struggle of a Seven learning to live in the present moment </li> </ul> We talk about marriage, mortality, the ache of unfinished dreams, the sweetness of gratitude, the pains and gifts of aging, and the spiritual practices that are slowly rewiring Steve's relationship with presence. Tune in to hear this rich conversation about Enneagram transformation, emotional intelligence, creativity, and the inner work of becoming whole.
