The Problem of Purpose, Part 1

Summary

We live in a time of deep irony. On the one hand, we enjoy the healthiest, most affluent, and most secure society that has ever existed. On the other hand, in spite of these blessings, we have some of the highest rates of depression, anxiety, and unhappiness than at any other time. How do we account for our misery in spite of our decadence? While we might point to many factors, I argue that one of the most prominent is that people have lost a sense of purpose and meaning in their lives. I recently gave a conference talk at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary on this issue and how Christianity provides an answer for our culture’s sickness. In this episode, I’m excited to share part one of that conference session with you. If you enjoy it, I also have a new article out at Boundless on the same topic and you can find the link in the show notes.
