Finding God in the Second Half
Why so many people hit a spiritual wall in midlife—and how that moment can become a turning point instead of a collapse.
Author • Faith-Based Writer • Storyteller
Eli Brackenbury speaks to people navigating faith, identity, healing, and midlife transition with honesty, practical insight, and a deeply relatable perspective.
Eli Brackenbury is a writer, father, and EHS professional whose unexpected spiritual awakening at fifty reshaped every part of his life. After years marked by divorce, grief, striving, and quiet spiritual dryness, an ordinary encounter with God sparked a new journey of healing, purpose, and renewed faith.
His message resonates with skeptics, seekers, wounded Christians, and people returning to faith after years away. Rather than preaching, Eli brings a real-life, non-churchy approach to spiritual growth through honest stories about identity, mental health, relationships, leadership, and everyday spirituality.
His debut book, Finding God at 50: A Mid-Life Awakening to Grace, Purpose and Presence, is the first in a planned series exploring spiritual transformation across the seasons of life.
