#86: Justice and Happiness (with Derwin L. Gray)
“The happiness that we usually pursue is about good things happening to us. God’s happiness is about making us good for the sake of the world.”
On The Puddcast this week is Derwin L. Gray, pastor of Transformation Church in South Carolina, and author of The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness. We discussed the Beatitudes as an invitation to a life of meaning and purpose, how that intersects with racial justice, how the prosperity message has crippled our witness, and our great need for leadership from those who have pastored on the margins.
