Does God want us to be happy?

We're back together for another conversation in our Unbound Talks series. Today, we dive into the profound topic of finding joy, meaning, and worship in everyday activities and blessings. Randy Alcorn's article and book "60 Days of Happiness" prompted a great discussion about how God meant us to experience happiness- is it our goal, a distraction, or just another part of life? From motorcycles to chocolate chip cookies, we chat about discovering how to be extraordinary in the ordinary while avoiding the trap of idolatry.
