Everyday Disciple Podcast

Why Aren’t Christians Happier?


Listen Later

Many Christians believe that knowing Jesus should naturally make us happy… yet, if we’re honest, a lot of us don’t always feel that way. Why aren’t Christians happier people?
This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author and pastor David McDonald about how happiness isn’t something we arrive at—it’s something we practice. We explore why happiness is more than a feeling—it’s a reflection of the gospel at work in us. True happiness is possible, no matter your past or personality, when grace begins shaping who you’re becoming.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • What true happiness is and how the Bible defines it.
  • Why Christians often struggle to live joyfully.
  • Why Jesus was likely the happiest person who ever lived.
  • Simple, gospel-centered steps to start experiencing more joy today.

    From this episode:
    "As Christians, knowing that we are “saved” doesn’t always produce a life full of happiness. But the Gospel speaks grace over us and into our lives and produces fertile ground for a truly happy life. Will you embark on the pursuit of happiness?"
