Summary

As we kick off Social at the Movies, Pastor Robert Madu unpacks powerful life lessons through the inspiring film “The Pursuit of Happyness.” The story of the main character, Chris Gardner, isn’t just a tale of rags to riches — it’s a journey of resilience, sacrifice, and unwavering hope when everything seems to be falling apart. In the darkest moments — our “cave seasons” — we discover we’re never truly alone. God is there, reminding us who we are and revealing who He is. It’s in the pain and pressure that we learn: when we pursue Jesus, His dreams for our life begins to pursue us. Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!
