![28 | Part 3: Theological Approaches to Suffering and Happiness](https://denverseminary.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/28_podcast_thumbnail_knut-465x288.jpg)
Christians often make a distinction between joy and happiness and use language that upholds joy, while categorizing happiness as superficial. Dr. Knut Heim provides a theology of happiness and draws from his recently published commentary on Ecclesiastes. Knut makes an appeal that God has actually created us to be receivers and that happiness is a discipline worth cultivating as we remain open to the gift of life and live for God and others.
