In this part two, we go deeper into why the abundant life Jesus offers is increasingly out of reach in a culture addicted to instant stimulation. Focusing on the science of happiness, specifically dopamine and oxytocin, we unpack how our constant craving for dopamine spikes through phones, content, and convenience is leaving us unmotivated, disconnected, and emotionally fragmented. Oxytocin, the neurochemical tied to connection and trust, is also suffering in our screen-driven lives. What we’re calling “abundance” is often just overstimulation and it’s costing us our capacity for deep joy and sustained focus.

We also take a hard look at 2026. If we’re going to walk in the dreams Yahweh has placed in us, we can’t keep living at the mercy of distraction. This next year will require discipline, recalibration, and a return to the quiet places where purpose is formed.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to love like God, especially when it's hard. What does love look like when someone has wronged you, disappointed you, or refuses to change? We revisit 1 Corinthians 13 not just as a checklist, but as a portrait of Christ Himself, love as a Person. This isn’t about shallow tolerance or passive kindness; it’s about entering into the kind of love that the Father, Son, and Spirit share. One that forgives, bears all things, and stays present even in pain.

In this episode, we wrestle with the collision between the abundant life Jesus offers and the information overload of the modern world. Sparked by the disturbing circulation of Charlie Kirk’s assassination video, we explore what happens to the human soul when grief becomes content, and death becomes data.
