Seven months later, the final post is here

Hi Reader,

Have you ever started a project thinking it would go quicker?

When I started The Flourishing Life series back in April, I intended to put out one post a week. In reality, I worked on it over seven months. But I did stick with it, and the final post went live today.

What started with my personal reflections about a dislike for the phrase "human flourishing" ends with a deeper understanding of how we can each flourish personally, and even more importantly, how we can flourish as a community.

Here's a quick look at the whole series:

1. ​Human Flourishing: what the phrase really means, and how it connects to the abundant life Jesus offers.
2. ​More Than Happy: why happiness comes and goes, but flourishing runs deeper.
3. ​Body, Mind, and the God Who Made Both: caring for your physical and mental health is stewardship, not weak faith.
4. ​Living for Something That Outlasts You: the difference between goals and purpose.
5. ​The Forgotten Virtue: character is who you are when no one is watching.
6. ​You Were Made for This: why close relationships matter more than almost anything else.
7. ​When the Bills Are the Problem: financial stability as a real part of flourishing.
8. ​The Resilience Factor: how flourishing holds up when life gets hard.
9. ​Why Your Church May Be the Most Important Factor: what the research says about faith community.
10. ​The Road to Flourishing Starts Where You Are: taking an honest look at where you are and taking the next small step.
