What Are You Chasing?
Money, success, pleasure, influence—we’re all chasing something. St. Thomas Aquinas breaks it down into four big things people often put in God’s place: wealth, power, pleasure, and status. They seem like the key to happiness, but if we’re not careful, they can take over and pull us away from what actually matters.
At Family Night, we’re diving into these "substitutes for God" and how they can impact our faith, relationships, and purpose. How do we recognize when we’re putting our trust in the wrong things? And what does it look like to live counter-culturally by choosing Christ instead?
Join us for real talk, community, and a chance to refocus on what truly fulfills. See you there!
