What Actually Makes a Good Life? Beyond the Hustle for More | There Our Hearts Will Be

How do you define a good life? In a culture that constantly shouts that we need more money, more stuff, and more status to be happy, it is easy to get caught on the hamster wheel of comparison. But when life gets messy, what actually sustains our health and happiness? In this message from our series "There Our Hearts Will Be," Pastor Tabitha explores Proverbs 3:1-12 alongside findings from the historic 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development. Discover why the quality of our relationships matters more than wealth or status, and how ancient wisdom invites us to loosen our grip on clutter so we can hold tight to love, loyalty, and community.
