Meaning Isn't Found. It's Given.

What are you actually living for? Most of us never stop to answer that — we just keep chasing the next thing hoping it will finally feel like enough.

In this episode of Reframed, Pastor Dan Jarms and biblical counselor Brian Sayers trace the ways people search for meaning — in success, pleasure, status, and identity — and why every path eventually runs dry. Then they turn to what the Bible has said from the beginning: meaning isn't something you find. It's something you're given.

In this episode:

• Why success, pleasure, and reputation always come up short
• What Solomon discovered after pursuing everything life had to offer
• How being made in God's image answers the question "Who am I?"— and why that matters for your everyday life
• Why self-determined identity always collapses in on itself
• The one cause worth giving your life to
