Doc, Handsome Kyle, and Brian sit back down in the Greenhouse to further explore the previous episode, which details the Good Life and common obstacles to living it.

Weโ€™ve discovered that most people who claim to follow Jesus donโ€™t enjoy the type of inner life He promised!

The Good Life, characterized by abiding peace, relational security, and a deep, intimate, two-way conversational life with God, has become elusive in the modern age.

Instead, many experience regular fear, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from the One who invites us to โ€œknow the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge.โ€

Because the concept of the Good Life is so rare, the guys spend the first half of todayโ€™s episode exploring and explaining it.

Then, using parts of their own stories, they gently touch on four of the obstacles we face that make the Good Life seem distant and unreachable.

Letโ€™s dig in!
