July 04, 2025

In the premiere episode of Life Series, Dr. Adrian shared some of his life lessons, tough upbringing, pivot moments, lessons about marriage and life generally. We explored what it means to live with purpose, grow through adversity, nurture lasting relationships, and define success beyond material things.

“A life of purpose is one aligned with God's will. Anything less, no matter how successful, will feel empty.” – Dr. Adrian Lindsay

From overcoming a difficult childhood to building a purpose-driven marriage, Dr. Lindsay’s story is filled with grace, grit, and godly wisdom.

🔍 KEY INSIGHTS

1. Purpose & Faith

Adrian defines a purposeful life as one aligned with God’s will, emphasizing that success without divine alignment feels empty. His decision to attend Bible school, despite family opposition, was a pivotal moment that shaped his future.

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. Mark Twain

2. Personal Growth Through Adversity

Adrian’s challenging upbringing built resilience, teaching him to handle adversity better. Emotional healing came through faith, prayer, and time, not just personal effort.

Personal growth is a continuous journey of self-improvement, fueled by embracing change, learning from mistakes, and investing in yourself

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” Will Durant

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

3. Building Strong Marriages

Open communication and pre-marriage discussions on faith, finances, and family planning are critical.

Adrian shares how he and his wife maintain their bond through shared activities like Bible study, dates, and relationship devotionals.

Their personal conviction: “Divorce is not an option”—and they work actively at nurturing their relationship, especially through conflict.

Allow each other to grow. Your relationship is strengthened when individuals flourish. Communicate clearly and often. Talking with your spouse is one of the best ways to keep your marriage healthy and successful.

4. Redefining Success

Success, for Adrian, means living comfortably, impacting others positively, and avoiding materialism. He stresses seizing opportunities when they arise, as they may not return.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” —Steve Jobs

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” —Robert Louis Stevenson
