Why Getting What You Want Isn’t Enough | The Bullpen with J.D. Greear
About this episode
J.D. Greear discusses the search for a meaningful life and the limitations of success and pleasure with guests Matt Love and Curtis Andrusko.
Why is it that getting what we want so often leaves us wanting something more? In the first episode of The Bullpen , J.D. Greear sits down with Matt Love and Curtis Andrusko to go deeper into his first sermon in the book of Ecclesiastes and the search for a meaningful, satisfying life. They talk about why success and pleasure can’t carry the weight we put on them, how Christians can genuinely enjoy God’s gifts without turning them into idols, and what Ecclesiastes has to say to a culture constantly looking for the next thing. They also discuss social media, our endless appetite for more, and what it looks like to build your life around the things that actually last.
