Christ and Culture

What if happiness isn’t something you chase, but something that grows deeper in the middle of grief, change, and ordinary life?

Dr. Benjamin Quinn talks with Andrew Wilson, teaching pastor at King’s Church London and columnist for Christianity Today, about Wilson’s short book, Happiness: What It Is, Where to Find It, and How to Make It Last Forever. The conversation explores why happiness is a universal human pursuit, how Christians should think about joy in different seasons of life, and why the deepest happiness is found in the presence of God rather than in circumstances.

This Blindspots episode looks at what happens when reading declines among adults and why that matters for pastors, ministry leaders, and every Christian trying to grow in love for God with heart, soul, mind, and strength. Benjamin Quinn and Andy Shurson use recent survey data, personal stories, and practical examples to argue that disciplined learning is a spiritual issue, not just an academic one.
They also address what counts as reading in a digital age, how audiobooks fit into a healthy information diet, and how leaders can better connect with people in their churches and communities through intentional reading habits.
