Maybe the problem is not that there are so many options, but that we have this hungry heart that is always looking for something better? Isn't that the very seed of idolatry that is planted in all of us? Until Jesus is enough, this suffering will continue. Once He is, we can go crazy and taste every box! :) Taste and see; the Lord is good.
AJ, have you read the short story A Good Man is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor? I Can’t get that story out of my head after reading your article. The Misfit: “It’s no real pleasure in life.”

Well stated! Yes, perhaps part of the death of our desires is not that we have too many options but that the options aren't that good!
So good. 🙏🏼 I work in student ministry and this is so accurate.
Thanks, Tyler! Curious—where do you do student ministry?
At a Foursquare church in Fort Worth, TX!
Well, that is fabulous to hear! Keep up the good work, Tyler.

I have, Scot! Incredible book. Although, it has been a while. I need to-re-read! O'Connor is a master. One of my fav authors.
