## Resource

What if the very things that feel backwards—like giving instead of keeping, or lowering yourself instead of climbing higher—are the keys to real joy? Behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely points out that life’s contradictions often bring the deepest rewards, and Jesus showed us this counterintuitive way first. In Luke’s gospel, we’re invited into the “Upside Down Kingdom,” where the least become the greatest, release brings freedom, and humility opens the door to God’s lasting peace.
