Ever wondered why happiness seems like a double-edged sword for Christians? In this episode of 'Road of Redemption', Daniel Irving tackles the 'Happiness Dilemma' and sheds light on why chasing happiness might not be the ultimate goal for believers.

He reflects on common quotes like 'God is more concerned about our holiness than our happiness' and explores their deeper meanings. Through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, Daniel explains how divine discipline, though often uncomfortable, is essential for developing true holiness.

He turns to Hebrews 12 to remind us that God's discipline is a sign of His love and a tool for our growth. The episode encourages Christians to shift their focus from seeking constant happiness to embracing the growth that comes through trials and discipline. By the end of the episode, you'll have a fresh perspective on why holiness should take precedence over happiness in a believer's life.
