Why We’re Not Happy | Trent Shelton

About this video

He argues that many people struggle with unhappiness because they focus on what they lack, compare themselves to others on social media, and depend on external circumstances for happiness rather than cultivating inner joy through faith. Shelton emphasizes that pain is universal, urges viewers to take personal responsibility for their lives, and stresses the importance of trusting God’s plan even when it doesn’t make sense.
