We’ve been sold a version of the good life—even in the church.
Spouse, house, Sunday service, stable job, a couple of kids, maybe a golden retriever. It’s polished. It’s postable. And that "picture" of life still won't satisfy us in and of itself.
In this episode, Abigail DeJarnatt shares how a trending reels song sparked a deeper reflection on how even our Christianized version of the American Dream can distract us from what really matters: knowing and obeying Jesus daily.
Is the life we’re chasing one He actually called us to in this season? Are we waiting for our lives to begin when we're called to serve Him now?
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” — Colossians 3:2 (ESV)
