What is Real Happiness? A conversation with Dr. Fili Chambo

In this special episode of the Living Loved Podcast, we celebrate the launch of What Is Real Happiness? with a conversation between Samantha Chambo and her husband, Filimão Chambo. Drawing from experiences in Mozambique, South Africa, and the United States, they explore how culture, hardship, success, and faith shape our understanding of happiness. Together they reflect on Jesus' surprising vision of happiness in the Sermon on the Mount, the joy of believers during times of struggle, and why true contentment is found not in circumstances but in a relationship with Christ.

How to Read Scripture for Transformation (Episode 36) - Season 4

There are so many of us who love Scripture, who want to understand it. But somewhere along the way, we've either been told that it's too complicated or we've had experiences that made us feel like we're not equipped, and I don't believe that's true.    In this episode, we're going to bring everything together. We're not just going to talk about how to read the Bible. We're going to do it together. We're going to walk through Psalm 1 step by step using the tools that we've been building throughout this season.
