So say the Founding Fathers of this great country in 1776, the Creator of all and all things endowed every human being so born with unalienable rights. Those rights, God-given, could not be changed or eliminated in any way by mankind. They were part of the DNA, the genetic inheritance of every man and woman at birth and through all of life. Those unalienable rights were the cornerstone of the new nation, that which made America the shining light on the hill, an example to all mankind and all nations, making America both different and better, a model of hope and understanding for all.LIFE. The Declaration of Independence prioritized life, that all should live life to the fullest. The Great Creator, God the Father, fully agreed. The Son of that Father was the epitome of that life. Even as the Founding Fathers were concerned with life here, and the natural laws which protected that life, then came a higher law, the highest moral law, in the person of Jesus Christ. He told us that whoever finds Him, finds life, real life, a life which no natural law can give. He told us that He was the Bread of Life, that partaking of the Bread and Blood would transform any human life and bring it to the next level.The Founding Fathers took their inspiration for life, at least to some extent, from Him. But the life promised by Jesus Christ was not only for here and now, but for eternity:ETERNAL LIFE.To be sure, life here should be an abundant life, so He said, “And the Christ of Glory, Jesus of Nazareth, was concerned that our joy might be full, again, here and hereafter.” The resurrection promised us that new life, a saving proposition which formed the belief of many of the Founding Fathers. There was, said to Christ, the BOOK OF LIFE in which the name of all who believe would be written. That was the written indication of the guarantee of life eternal. Natural law and all that was envisioned by the Founding Fathers was taken to the next level, the highest possible moral level, by Jesus Christ. What a blessing to have a life abundant here, but much more importantly, to firmly and confidently expect life eternal THERE, and with Him.LIBERTY/FREEDOM. The great revolutionary Patrick Henry said:“GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”For him, not to live free was worse than death. To live forever under British rule and yoke was intolerable, as bad or even worse than death. No matter the cost, all colonists, all Americans, had to live free no matter what. But there was a higher freedom. Then came the Son, the only one who can really set anyone FREE. No human being could live to the fullest without absolute freedom of:CHOICETHOUGHTACTIONBELIEFThey, all of them, were part of the unalienable rights of the Declaration of IndependenceNo man or woman could live without the Truth. But, with the higher law, the Christ of Glory promised all that HE was the way, and the TRUTH, and the life. He not only brought joy through salvation, here and now, but freedom, here and eternally, from all transgressions and sin. His spirit, the Holy Spirit, came to strengthen, admonish, and encourage us as we lived and walked with Him. Real freedom, the only liberty, which was total and complete, was only found in the:SAVING GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST.HAPPINESS. There was the necessity for full life, there was the necessity for liberty, and there was the necessity for every human being to engage for his or her life in the:PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.Happiness as that individual defined it. That was the unalienable right of every human being. But then came the higher law, through the Holy Person.Then came the One who brought real joy, real happiness, and showed the way to life abundant here, and with the promise of even more hereafter. This man, our Lord, was so determined to teach us the meaning of happiness and life abundant that He gave His life for that purpose. He admonished us to be cheerful, happy, we were to have fun, and joy, the very best of this life, knowing that the ultimate joy, the higher law, that which was above the natural law, was yet to be fulfilled, but would be so for all eternity. Ultimate joy and happiness would only be accomplished as we live with Him eternally. Some, perhaps many of the Founding Fathers, believed this.We who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and His higher laws of life, liberty, and happiness can well sing the song HAPPY AM I, JESUS LOVES ME. We can also sing I AM HAPPY IN THE SERVICE OF THE KING because we are in that service and it does provide ultimate fulfillment and happiness.We then should be extremely grateful, thankful, to those revolutionaries, those Founding Fathers, who gave us the great Declaration of Independence and, the Constitution of 1787, our Founding Documents, and the freedoms, the unalienable rights, which they granted to colonists then, and to all of us Americans here and now. Thank you, all 56 of those great men who gave us the Declaration of Independence.We, their heirs and successors, have received and lived the fruits of those blessings and we owe them the highest debt of human gratitude. But there is more, and we have that. There are laws and rights higher than the natural laws of 1776. There is life, there is liberty, and there is happiness and joy, all from HIM and we who believe in Him can partake of the very best here and now, this life, but with far greater expectation of what is to come in the next life.WITH HIM!
SHOW NOTES: On this show… we're exploring the balancing act between love, money, and the real pursuit of happiness. What happens when one area becomes the focus at the expense of the others? You might be building wealth but losing touch with your relationships, or maybe you're all-in for love but silently stressed about your financial future. It's easy to get off-kilter, especially when life demands you juggle multiple priorities at once. The truth is, balance often becomes obvious only in hindsight. But what if you could spot the imbalance before it knocks you over? That's exactly what we're diving into today. We'll explore the emotional, financial, and personal fulfillment areas of your life—and ask the hard questions about where your energy is going and what's being left behind. We'll even introduce a tool coaches use to help people evaluate where they are versus where they want to be. So whether you're feeling stretched thin, stuck in a loop, or just curious if you're truly chasing happiness—or just running on autopilot—this show is for you. Let's be honest—how many of us are secretly chasing that idea of “having it all”? The fulfilling relationship, the comfortable income, the deep sense of inner peace and purpose. Somewhere along the way, we were sold the dream that it's not only possible—but expected. And if we don't have it all together, we must be doing something wrong. But what if the pressure to have it all is what's keeping us stuck? Start by thinking of your life like a three-legged stool: one leg for love and connection, one for financial security, and one for personal fulfillment or happiness. When any one of those legs is too short—or completely missing—the stool becomes unstable. You wobble. Maybe you fall. And chances are, you've blamed yourself for the imbalance instead of realizing that no one taught you how to build a strong stool in the first place. 5 Steps to Reset Your Work-Life Balance Achieving Balance: Why You've Got it Wrong & How to Get it Right There's more to life than being happy | Emily Esfahani Smith | TED CHALLENGE: Take a closer look at where you're investing your energy—love, money, happiness—and ask yourself what might be running low. A small shift in focus could be all it takes to restore some balance. You deserve a life that feels full, not just busy I Know YOU Can Do It!
In this episode of the Accelerate Golf Podcast, I sit down with Paul Ollinger — stand-up comedian, best-selling author, and former Facebook exec — for a wildly entertaining and insightful conversation that spans ambition, risk-taking, and the surprising overlap between golf and comedy. Paul shares his bold leap from a high-powered tech career (he was Facebook's VP of Sales in the early days) to life on the stand-up stage — performing at top clubs and festivals across North America. We talk about his unique comedy shows at private country clubs, what makes golf such fertile ground for humor, and why laughter might be the best strategy in the game. We also dive into Paul's Reasonably Happy Podcast, where he explores the complex relationship between money and meaning. Expect thoughtful reflections on success, the itch for “more,” and how golf teaches us as much about life as it does about swing mechanics. If you're into golf, comedy, or redefining what success looks like — this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Psalms for the Summer Vol. 7 kicks off with “The Pursuit of Happiness”. Pastor Adam takes us through Psalm 16, where David reveals that true joy is found in God's presence. In His presence, we find a kind of peace and power the world can't give or take away. Grab your Bible, your notebook, and lean in as we pursue a joy that cannot be shaken.

Constitutional Chats hosted by Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie
Thomas Jefferson cemented his legacy as an incredible orator and writer when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, almost 250 years ago. His soaring rhetoric drew inspiration from multiple government and historic traditions: from John Locke to the Magna Carta to the Enlightenment. He used phrases and words that deserve special attention. What did Jefferson mean when he talked about unalienable rights, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, self-evident truths, and the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God? To shed important insight into this world-changing document, we are pleased to welcome back a fan-favorite guest, Tony Williams. Tony is a senior fellow at the Bill of Rights Institute and prolific author of such books as “Washington and Hamilton: The Alliance that Forged America.”
To mark our 100th episode and launch of Season 9, Jim Baer sits down with Jeffrey Rosen—President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, host of We the People, and author of The Pursuit of Happiness: How Classical Writers on Virtue Inspired the Lives of the Founders and Defined America. In this rich and timely conversation, Rosen explores how ancient moral philosophy shaped the Founders' vision of happiness—not as pleasure, but as virtue. Together, we examine how this wisdom can help us navigate today's polarized world, restore purpose to leadership, and reconnect with practices of self-mastery, deep reading, and spiritual discipline. Rosen also shares his personal journey, the impact of Stoic philosophy, and his unexpected path into songwriting. A profound and inspiring dialogue for anyone seeking meaning, clarity, and civic renewal.

"He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of the new Appropriation of Lands" ..."for cutting off trade with all parts of the world." In this episode, Steven Pincus explores grievances against King George for restricting free trade and for preventing immigration to the colonies. Topics include the following: -The importance of the trans-Atlantic Patriot Party, which existed both in Great Britain and throughout the Empire and which criticized the policies of King George for ruling as the King of England alone, rather than the King of the whole Empire -Economic justifications and criticisms of the Stamp Act (1765), the Townshend Acts (1767), and the Fairfax Resolves (1774) -The evolving splits in the Patriot Party that led some like Thomas Paine to advocate for independence others like Governor John Wentworth of New Hampshire to for advocate reform while remaining loyal to the King -Reasons behind the pro-immigration beliefs of the Patriot Party Steven Pincus' select publications are below: The Heart of the Declaration: The Founders' Case for Activist Government.Yale University Press, 2016. 1688:The First Modern Revolution.

In this powerful and timely talk, Yaron Brook explores the true meaning and enduring value of Western civilization—tracing its roots from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the principles that gave rise to science, individual liberty, and unprecedented human progress. Challenging the myths of multicultural relativism and confronting both external threats and internal self-doubt, the speech makes a passionate case for why Western civilization must be understood, celebrated, and defended. This is a compelling defense of the ideas that have shaped the modern world—and a call to stand up for the culture of reason, freedom, and human dignity.This talk was delivered on April 29, 2025 at Northwood University.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBrook/joinLike what you hear?

In this 4/13/25 sermon, Michael Gowens traces the "blessed man" statements through the Psalms to discover the reasons for his blessedness, or fulfillment in life.
Episode #971 What if the very thing driving your success is keeping you from feeling fulfilled? A lot of high-performing men are caught in the loop of "once I get this... then I'll finally be happy." Sound familiar? Maybe it's sex, money, business goals, or even just recognition from your wife. But here's the thing: that finish line keeps moving. In this episode, Tim and Arthur unpack a hard truth—chasing happiness through external validation never ends well. They share real stories from men inside the movement (including one powerful breakthrough around intimacy and fulfillment) and dig into why so many of us resist feeling content, even when we say that's all we want. You'll hear how being grateful doesn't mean giving up your edge, why internal validation is a more powerful driver than any goal, and how to make the shift from "pushed by pain" to "pulled by pleasure." If you're tired of hustling without feeling like you've arrived anywhere, this one's for you. Ready to stop guessing and start fixing your relationship?

What did “the pursuit of happiness” mean to our nation's Founders, and why was it included in the Declaration of Independence? Listed as one of America's unalienable rights, this phrase finds its roots in the classical works of the Greek and Roman moral philosophers which would have made up our Founders' libraries. Speaking to the moral character that the Founders hoped to imbue in the new American citizen, it also exemplified a dedication to the idea of personal self-government. Yet like so many of our founding documents, this phrase in the Declaration of Independence sat in stark contrast to the legality of slavery in the new nation. In conversation with David Rubenstein, constitutional expert Jeffrey Rosen explores the origins and implications of this iconic phrase in the American lexicon. Recorded on March 4, 2024

What if true happiness isn't found in material wealth but in something far more profound? In this thought-provoking episode, I spoke with Jeff Golden, author of Reclaiming the Sacred, to explore his decade-long journey of gathering wisdom from psychologists, activists, saints, and poets. Jeff shares how his diverse life roles have shaped his understanding of joy, presence, and interconnectedness. Together, we examine why happiness has declined in industrialized nations despite increasing prosperity, highlighting the vital roles of relationships, health, and self-acceptance. The discussion weaves through spiritual traditions, from Christianity to Taoism and Buddhism, offering insights on how reconnecting with nature and our inner selves can lead to deeper fulfillment. A rich and inspiring conversation that challenges societal norms and invites us to redefine what it means to truly thrive.Links Discussed in This Episode |Book: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara KingsolverBook: Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music, and BeautyDr. Kristin Neff - Self CompassionConnect with Jeff:Book: Reclaiming the Sacred: Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the WorldWebsiteJeff's Course: Reclaiming the Sacred - An Experiential 6 Week Online CourseAbout Jeff |Jeff Golden, M.Ed., was most recently a scholar-in-residence at Vassar College.

Baltimore, 2006. A city buzzing with life suddenly became the backdrop to one of the most perplexing mysteries in recent history. Rey Rivera was a young, charismatic writer with big dreams and a loving wife by his side. He seemed to have it all But on May 16th, he vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but a hurried phone call and a series of unanswered questions. Eight days later, his body was discovered in the most chilling and bizarre circumstances you could imagine- inside an unused conference room in the historic Belvedere Hotel. He appeared to have fallen from a significant height, crashing through the roof of the conference room. As the investigation into Rey's death began, theories swirled; was it suicide, an accident or something far more sinister? Nothing was adding up, and the deeper investigators dug, the more tangled the mystery became. Rey had left his home abruptly that night, for seemingly no reason- why? What had led him to the Belvedere Hotel? And what secrets were hidden in a cryptic note found taped to his computer screen- a note filled with references to movies, codes and seemingly nonsensical musings? This is not just a story about a man's life tragically ending, it is a journey into the unknown- a labyrinth of secrets, shadows and haunting questions that still linger almost two decades later.
