Why That Emptiness Feeling Is Exactly Where You Need to Be. | WMF24
Word Made Fresh
Why do we still feel empty after getting the things we thought would make us happy? Why do we keep reaching for more... more pleasure, more success, more distraction. Only to find that the ache is still there?In this conversation, we talk about the strange hunger inside us that nothing in this world seems quite big enough to satisfy. We get into art, addiction, attention, desire, and the ways we numb ourselves when the longing becomes uncomfortable. We also revisit Glen Hansard, Anne Sexton, and the surprising ways music, creativity, suffering, and beauty can point us toward something deeper.Sometimes the ache isn't the problem. Maybe it's telling us what we're made for. 🎙️ Word Made Fresh Links: 🎵 Listen WMF on Spotify 📍 Tour Dates 📩 Send us your art & questions: wmf@tobinstitute.org Christopher West: 📸 Instagram 🔵 Facebook 🎤 Ask Christopher West Podcast Mike Mangione: 🎵 Mike's Music ▶️ YouTube 📸 Instagram 🎸 Mike's website 🗺️ Mike's tour Bill Donaghy: 📸 Instagram Theology of the Body Institute Resources: 🔥 3 FREE sessions of our flagship course on the TOB 💬 Text TOB to (404) 647-7682 ⚡️ Support us & get access to leading TOB formation 📚 Course schedule 🏔️ Pilgrimages 🛍️ Store
