Summary

In our influencer-heavy society, we are consumed by the things we 'need' to be buying, wearing, driving, and consuming...and it all leads to emptiness.


In scripture we see that God defines greed as something that brings ruin (Prov. 15:27), stirs conflict (Prov. 28:25), and destroys (Prov. 29:4).


On today's episode, I am discussing the damage caused by greed - how it ruins relationship, stops conversation and connection, steals from the opportunity from generosity and rejoicing, and becomes all-consuming.


ANNOUNCEMENT: Episodes will now be launching on **TUESDAY** instead of Monday! I have decided to do this that I can slow down and truly enjoy my family on the weekends without feeling distracted about needing to upload episodes. Thank you for understanding. :)
