In this episode of The Dialog, hosts Josh Craft and Nick Surface dive into one of the most deceptively simple questions in human history: Is happiness really worth pursuing?

From Aristotle’s eudaimonia and Stoic virtue ethics to biblical joy and modern dissatisfaction, this conversation explores how ancient philosophy and timeless Scripture converge on a radically different understanding of happiness. It’s not about chasing feelings — it’s about becoming the kind of person who lives in harmony with truth, virtue, and reason.

Drawing on Socrates, Aristotle, Musonius Rufus, and Romans 8, Josh and Nick uncover how logic, faith, and human flourishing all connect — and why joy, not happiness, might be the truer measure of a meaningful life.
