Shownotes

We’ve never had more access, more comfort, or more opportunity—and yet, many people are still deeply unhappy.

Studies show a connection between faith, community, and lower levels of unhappiness. Which raises a question worth sitting with… are we looking for fulfillment in places that were never meant to provide it?

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 16:11 – “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

Reflection Questions:

Where do you tend to look for happiness first?

What role does faith and community play in your sense of fulfillment?
