Gordon Haines, Director of Culture & Faith, reminds us that everyone struggles—it's a part of human life. We tend to focus on the idea that we will reach happiness when we attain or achieve a specific thing. A car, a promotion, a house...In this video, Gordon reminds us that God wants us to be happy not only when we achieve great things, but every day. Jesus Christ died on the cross for us to find joy and happiness in life.

Watch this video as Gordon continues to discuss the importance of seeking out happiness in our work, in our family, and in our life.
