Episode Synopsis

Ever wonder how someone can have the house, the cars, the money—and still feel like something’s missing? In this powerful, personal, and truth-packed episode of Quest for Success, Dr. Jerry Cunningham dives deep into the haunting truth behind what the world calls “success.” With stories from Scripture, psychology, and real-life experience, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about what it means to “make it.” From celebrities who “had it all” but still battled emptiness, to the biblical story of the rich young ruler, to a former childhood friend of Dr. Cunningham’s who seemingly had it all but walked into therapy broken—this episode goes straight to the heart of the matter: success without faith is like a chocolate cake made out of cardboard. It looks good, but it leaves you hungry and hollow. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why so many high achievers still feel spiritually empty The biblical warning of chasing wealth while ignoring God Psychological studies (like Maslow’s hierarchy and the Harvard Grant Study) that prove faith and purpose lead to deeper satisfaction than fame or fortune ever could A real story of transformation from a man who traded status for spiritual healing How to realign your definition of success with values that last Actionable insights to lead with faith at work, at home, and in your personal growth journey Dr. Cunningham—psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author of the Quest for Success book series—breaks it all down in his signature blend of straight talk, spiritual depth, and just the right amount of humor. If you’ve ever felt like you’re hustling hard but still feel hollow… this episode is your invitation to recalibrate. This isn’t just another motivational pep talk. It’s a mirror. A map. And maybe even a wake-up call.
