  <description>&lt;p&gt;Everyone wants “the good life”—but what does that actually mean? Money, Power, Influence? That's culture's definition, but Jesus answers that question in the Sermon on the Mount, where He lays out a vision of life that’s fuller, freer, and deeper than anything the world offers. It’s not about chasing status, stuff, or surface-level peace. It’s about becoming the kind of person who reflects Heaven on Earth. In this series, we’ll explore how to live the good life—Jesus’ way. Welcome to Episode Four and the series finale of The Good Life: Built ot Last &lt;/p&gt;
