From entertainment to achievement, even the best this world offers can’t carry the weight of our purpose.This episode unpacks why happiness makes a terrible god—but a beautiful gift when it flows from the right source. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still missing something, this conversation will challenge your perspective and point you toward what actually lasts.Real fulfillment isn’t found in what you build—it’s found in who you trust.
