231: Finding Happiness, Grief & Loss, and Why Your Scars Tell a Story (feat. Daniel Fusco)

This week, we’re talking about how to find true happiness, even amidst grief and loss, and why your scars tell a story for others to hear. What does it mean for scars to tell a story? Quite obviously, they are evidence that a collision with difficulty led to their appearance. And while we aren’t usually excited about what led to the scars, we can look back and see the Lord’s faithfulness. And there is the story; it’s the testimony of His promise to never leave. And that leads us to a shared desire: a desire to live happy lives. But after trying to make things happen by our own efforts, we often have a nagging feeling that our lives just aren’t what they should be. So, we try to live better. We try to make adjustments to avoid future pain and loss. But with every attempt, we continually find ourselves not quite there, right? So, what are we to do? Find out this week in our conversation with Daniel Fusco.

“So great to find a podcast that is both encouraging and challenging!

I really appreciate his heart and have been able to apply many of his topics in my life to help me grow professionally, physically, and relationally. A+!”
