    Why Everyone Else's Life Looks Better Than Yours

    You're doing fine. And then you open your phone — and four seconds later, your life feels small. In this episode, we go after the comparison trap. Why the grass always looks greener from a distance. Why leaving a good field for a greener one almost never works. And what Paul meant when he said he'd learned the secretof contentment — from a prison cell, in chains, not knowing if he'd live or die. The grass is greener where you water it. And most people are dying of thirst standing right next to a hose. Stop staring over the fence. Pick it up. Keep the Faith.

    Are you living a meaningful life?

    You can be doing fine — genuinely fine — and still lie awake feeling like you're missing something you can't even name. In this episode of Lions and Lambs, we go after the question most people avoid: what actually makes a life meaningful? We walk through what Viktor Frankl observed about meaning inside a Nazi death camp, what the Hebrew phrase tselem Elohim meant in the ancient world, and what Jesus said in Matthew 22 about the architecture of a life that actually counts for something. A meaningful life isn't something you build. It's something you receive — and then spend. The worth you've been chasing was already declared over you. You just haven't looked up yet. Keep the Faith.

    Why Success Won't Fix Your Problems

    You finally got the thing. And then one typical Tuesday — the same quiet emptiness came back. So you picked a bigger target. In this episode of Lions and Lambs, we get into why success doesn't fix your problems — it just gives you more expensive ones and removes your last excuse. We cover the hedonic treadmill, what C.S. Lewis got right about desire, and a conversation Jesus had with a woman who had tried five times to drink from the wrong well. The ache was never proof you needed a bigger life. It was always an invitation to a deeper one. Stop asking the finite to do the work of the infinite. Keep the Faith.

    Playing it safe is the most dangerous way to live

    Playing it safe is the most dangerous way to live. Not the most comfortable. Not the most peaceful. The most dangerous. Because you don't avoid risk by playing it safe — you just trade the risk of failure for the risk of a wasted life. In this episode of Lions and Lambs, we get into why the thing most people fear isn't failure — it's being seen failing. What the research on regret actually shows. The parable of the talents and why the master was furious at the servant who lost nothing. And the one Greek word in Ephesians 2:10 that reframes everything about who you are and what you were put here to do. You were made for more than a safe, quiet, invisible life. Pray the dangerous prayer. Keep the Faith.

    Why God Feels Small

    When life feels like it's swallowing you whole, God feels small. Your problems feel like the size of the sky. And the weight of it just keeps pressing in. But here's the thing about distance — it lies to you. In this episode, we use one image — a water tower — to talk about why God feels small when you're far and massive when you're close. We walk through Peter stepping out of the boat, the moment he sinks, and the one thing Jesus actually asks him. And we land on the gospel, plain and straight. The thing pressing down on you isn't bigger than what you have access to. It just looks that way from a distance. Drive toward the tower. Keep the Faith.

    Running on Empty: Striving or Thriving?

    You're moving constantly. Grinding, producing, pushing. And somehow still empty. In this episode, we get honest about the treadmill — the difference between running toward something and just running. We look at why the formula culture handed you was never going to deliver, what Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert found about achievement and happiness, and why Matthew 11:28 completely inverts everything you've been told about how rest works. You don't grind your way to peace. You build from it. One question to sit with when you're done listening. Keep the Faith.

    Why Nothing You Chase Ever Feels Like Enough

    You got the thing you wanted. And then the emptiness came back. In the OFFICIAL Episode 1, we name the one ache that sits underneath every ambition, every relationship, and every moment of real fulfillment you've ever experienced. We walk through why achievement, validation, legacy, and even the best relationships always come up short — and why that's not a flaw in you. It's a signal. Viktor Frankl. Solomon. C.S. Lewis. And a conversation Jesus had at a well with a woman who'd been married five times. They're all pointing at the same thing. This show exists to answer one question: does my life matter? Episode 1 is where we start. Next week — Episode 2: The Counterfeit. Keep the Faith.

    Did Jesus Actually Exist? | The Historical Case You've Never Heard

    Most people have never actually investigated whether Jesus of Nazareth was a real historical figure. They've inherited an opinion — either from church or from culture. Neither one is a conclusion.In this first episode of Lions & Lambs, we go straight to the historical record. Secular Roman historians. Jewish sources. Over 5,800 Greek manuscripts. And the one detail — the women witnesses — that no first-century fraud would ever have included.This isn't a sermon. It's a case. And if you follow the evidence honestly, it leads somewhere you might not expect.Whether you grew up in church and walked away, or you've never taken any of this seriously — this is where the investigation starts.Born for Battle ebook → https://lionbornstudios.com @lionbornstudios on Instagram & TikTokKeywords: did Jesus exist, Jesus historical evidence, Christian apologetics, faith and reason, finding purpose, feeling lost, young adults and faith, Jesus real or myth, Christianity evidence, Born for Battle
