• This Series: What really makes for a happy life? A dream job, a bigger house, or a new relationship? If you’re always hungry for the next big thing, but frustrated because it never seems to satisfy you, you might be Chasing Carrots. It’s time to hop off the treadmill and chase after something real. This five-week series is about the things people commonly chase after that only bring fleeting happiness, fulfillment, or validation.   • This Week: Harriet Braiker identified an addiction problem many suffer with: The Disease to Please. There are three problems people-pleasers battle: They obsess about what others think, they are often overly sensitive to criticism, and they have a hard time saying, “No.” Being obsessed with what people think about you is the fastest way to forget about what God thinks about you. Thankfully, Jesus can set us free from this addiction.   Key Phrase: “Fear of man will prove to be a snare…” Proverbs 29:25​
