The first time I ever had pineapple was in the form of small chunks found atop a "Hawaiian pizza." My response to the small, sweet fruit was "meh". Years later on a trip to Trinidad and Tobago I experienced some freshly sliced pineapple that had just been locally harvested. It was so fresh and bursting with flavor. In no way did it compare to the soggy chunks found atop a poorly named pizza so many years ago.

This experience got me thinking; what if there are other aspects of life that are like canned pineapple chunks when there is freshly sliced pineapple, that is so good, just waiting to be plucked, savored, and lived out?

There is a life which Jesus desires for us all that is truly the good life; one full of flavor and satisfaction. Yet too often we find ourselves content to feast on the canned chunks of a life apart from God. In this series we explore how knowing and following Jesus brings greater satisfaction, joy, purpose, and fulfillment to our lives.
