Happiness… It has the tendency of slipping through our fingers no matter how much success, money, or influence we chase.
In this powerful episode of Point of Impact, Aaron Hale sits down with Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer–author, church leader, and outspoken cultural voice–to unpack why so many people feel emptier than ever in a world flooded with distractions, dopamine, and conformity.
Jackson shares how God redirected his life from business to ministry, why the church cannot stay silent on politics and culture, and what COVID revealed about fear, virtue signaling, and the cost of standing out. He explains why young men are returning to church in record numbers, how social media is reshaping mental health, and why happiness will always fail but joy will not.
This conversation cuts through the noise to ask a harder question:
What are you building that will outlive you?
