🔥 Episode Summary
In this episode of The Stronghold Podcast, host Dave Barton sits down with friend, author, theologian, and communicator Dan Kent to explore one of life’s most profound questions: What gives our lives meaning?
Dan, known for his work with Greg Boyd and ReKnew.org, brings deep insight into the tension between purpose, suffering, and joy. Together, we unpack why chasing happiness often leaves us empty, how meaning differs from purpose, and what it truly looks like to live a life anchored in God.
