The Secret To Being Happy

Do you want to be happy? According to an expert at Yale there is something that happy people have in common. It is also something that the Bible makes very clear to us: community.

And it's not just about having acquaintances; it's about forging real connections, having people to share life's ups and downs with.

As Christian dads, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle of life, to isolate ourselves in the middle of our responsibilities. But we weren't meant to go it alone. From Adam in the garden to Elijah in the wilderness, the message is clear: we need each other.

So, in this episode, I'm sharing some practical strategies to cultivate community. From joining church groups to hosting game nights, there are multiple ways to connect with like-minded individuals. Notice I said, “like-minded,” not “same-minded.” Too often we remove ourselves from others because they are not exactly like us. I hate to break it to you, you want find many just like you. However, there is biblical guidance for building community even when there are differences.

So if you find yourself struggling to make friends and finding yourself down in the dumps a lot, let me help you by showing building community doesn’t have to be that challenging.
