Episode 83 - TSP | Part 9 - That I May Be Reasonably Happy + Song "The Serenity Prayer" Episode 83 - TSP | Part 9 - So That I May Be Reasonably Happy In This Life What if the problem isn’t your life… but your expectations? In this episode, we unpack one of the most honest and freeing lines in the Serenity Prayer: “…so that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with You forever in the next.” Many of us expect following God to make life easier. We expect obedience to be rewarded with comfort. And when that doesn’t happen, we quietly begin to feel disappointed—even with God. But the Serenity Prayer doesn’t promise a perfect life. It invites us into something deeper: realistic expectations, lasting peace, and a shift in perspective. In this episode, we talk about: - What “reasonably happy” really means - How unrealistic expectations lead to disappointment - Why life doesn’t suddenly become perfect in recovery or faith - Letting go of control—especially with the people we love most - The difference between peace now and ultimate joy later Jon also shares a personal story about raising his kids, learning to release control, and finding peace in the middle of imperfect outcomes. If you’ve ever wondered why life still feels hard—even when you’re doing the right things—this episode will help realign your expectations and restore your hope.
