The Hunt for Happiness

May 23, 2022 • Devin O'Donnell, Ben Tate

Today's Monday Meal is an essay called "The Hunt for Happiness," written by our very own Ben Tate. Mr. Tate teaches History, Bible, and Math at The Oaks. Drawing from the wisdom of past voices, as well as on the wisdom of latter ages, Ben Tate responds to perennial questions regarding human existence: what does it mean to be happy, and does happiness matter for a Christian? In a time where pleasure and feeling good is the highest good, his answer matters. You can find Ben Tate's essay printed in the this month's edition of Cultura, along with Megan Tallman's speech defending the resurrection of Christ.
