As Christians, we can easily fall into error when thinking about happiness. On one hand, we can fall into a worldly view of happiness that is self-centered, assuming that God’s greatest desire is for everyone to be happy. On the other hand, we can fall into the belief that God doesn’t care about our happiness at all — that he only cares about our holiness, and we need to wait to be happy until we go to Heaven.

So, which is it? Does God want you to be happy, or not?

In this episode, Scott and Shawn discover the answer to this question as they uncover:

  • what happiness even is
  • whether or not people need God in order to be happy
  • why God cares about your happiness
  • why God also cares about what your happiness is rooted in
  • how to pursue a happiness that ultimately glorifies God in your daily living
