A Façade, Chasing Happiness, and the Long Game with Adam Hathaway.

Adam Hathaway grew up in a military family bouncing from one country to another.  His parents were one of the most stable areas of his life.  With a marine father who was highly promotable and had a prominent name and a mother who loved Jesus, Adam had a good up bringing.  Adam grew up attending church when the rare opportunity arose, but he mainly went out of obligation to his mother, but life changed when he left for college. After Adam got out of the house and went to the university, alcohol entered the conversation and did not leave for a LONG time.  Adam classified his battle with alcohol among other self-destructive behaviors as a ‘game.’  “Sin will leave no leftovers.  It doesn’t want part of you; it wants all of you.  Satan plays the long game, but God plays a longer game.”  In over a ten-year bout with managing a façade while chasing cheap moments for happiness, we see that the inward battle of chasing ‘good things’ devoid of God still leave you feeling empty.
