In this clip Randy talks about the words in Scripture that mean happiness and blessed and how culture shapes our understanding of words.  

In this clip Randy speaks with Dr. Lee Warren about the effect of a lack of gospel happiness in the church today. 

In this clip Randy answers the question “Why did you write Happiness?”. 

A few weeks ago I had a delightful conversation with Dr. Lee Warren for his podcast about my book Happiness. Now may seem like a strange time to be talking about happiness, especially with so much heartbreak and sadness in our broken world. Please don’t misunderstand: nothing in this interview minimizes the reality of suffering.

Our actions should be in concert with our prayers—we should pray to find happiness in God and then take the kind of actions that will help us find happiness in God.

Randy had a conversation with Dr. Lee Warren about his book Happiness, what true happiness is, and how to find delight even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Their conversation touched on Randy's personal experiences and ministry, as well as a current writing project. 

In this two-minute video, I talk about Deuteronomy 28:47, which says, “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart…”

In His sovereignty, God orchestrates unique opportunities for us to be generous. He delights in those moments of divine connection, and so should we.

Based on books I’ve read, sermons I’ve heard, and conversations I’ve had, it’s clear many Christians believe that humanity’s desire for happiness was birthed in the fall and is part of the curse. Hence, the desire to be happy is often assumed to be the desire to sin. But what if our desire for happiness was a gift designed by God before sin entered the world?
