In Episode 16 of The Pursuit Podcast, we dive into the difficult but important topic of happiness, depression, and what it means to truly find joy in life. From feeling lost and struggling with comparison to navigating difficult seasons and searching for purpose, this conversation explores why happiness can feel so elusive and what we can do to change our perspective.
We discuss the difference between happiness and joy, why our emotions don't always tell the whole story, and how gratitude, vision, and intentional choices can help us find fulfillment even when life gets hard.
