Your life is working. A good job. A decent house. Maybe a Costco finally opened nearby. You have more convenience and security than any generation before you. So why does something still feel missing?

We keep thinking the next upgrade will settle us. A bigger house. More in the retirement account. A better phone. The latest health hack. But the more we get, the less settled we feel.

In Week 2 of Christian-ish, Jeff Brodie opens a letter from Jesus to one of the wealthiest cities of its day. They had everything they wanted and believed they needed nothing. Jesus saw something they couldn’t. Jeff also tells the story of a hospital visit for one stitch that ended with a diagnosis he never saw coming.

Then he asks: what if getting what you want is making it harder to see what you really need?

You don’t need to know the Bible to get something from this message. If you’ve ever felt empty in a life that looks fine from the outside, this one is for you.

Christian-ish is a three-week series about the faith we settle for and the relationship Jesus is inviting us into.
