Chandler believes in Christian hedonism, a phrase coined by John Piper , teaches that "God is glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him " and that the highest search of God (" His glory ") and the deepest and most lasting joy of man join In a search , that is, the search for satisfaction in God.
Matt's hope is that we know and adore the Triune God with reason, that both our minds and our hearts would be filled and shaped by Him.
