Scottie Scheffler: Why Winning Isn’t Enough (Faith, Family & Ecclesiastes) — Extra Mile Reaction

We react to Scotty Scheffler’s candid comments about the fleeting “euphoria” of winning and why trophies can’t satisfy the deepest longings of the heart. From Ecclesiastes’ “chasing the wind” to Matthew 6:33, we talk purpose, priorities, fatherhood, and finding lasting satisfaction in God.
