The Happiest Lives Podcast
E121: Desire+Drive
This is the eighth episode in our Hormones, Happiness & the Holy Spirit series, where we’re exploring what it really means to live with joy—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Today we’re talking about desire and drive. God created you with longings—for meaning, connection, and purpose—and the energy to move toward them. But what happens when that drive gets misdirected? When passion turns into pressure or hustle replaces peace?
We’ll look at four ways desire and drive can go off track, what Spirit-led ambition actually looks like, and ten practical ways to redirect your energy toward joy, fruitfulness, and freedom.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, or worn out, this episode will help you pause, realign, and move forward with grace.
