Our Goal in Life Should Not Be Happiness. But What Should It Be Instead?

from Talk About That · host John Driver and Jonnie W., Christian Comedy Creatives

"You do not need to know precisely what is happening or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope." - Thomas Merton. In this episode, we have a conversation about the "pursuit of happiness" and why adapting to challenges is a far better goal.  Plus, John gets a 4-year college scholarship using only a roll of tape and ponders becoming a plumber. Meanwhile, Jonnie changes his mind about seatbelt laws and celebrates the 21st anniversary of the best/worst invention of our lifetime. Today's episode is NOT sponsored by Stretchy Pants: "Are you getting fatter? Who knows, but we'll never tell."
