EPISODE 152: Seven Deadly Sins Series: Envy - The Thief of Joy and Contentment

In this episode of "Bible Reading and Coffee Drinking," we dive into the sin of envy—a subtle but destructive force that thrives on comparison and dissatisfaction. We’ll explore the biblical definition of envy, looking at how it causes resentment toward others’ blessings and leads to broken relationships and inner turmoil.

We’ll also discuss how envy stems from a lack of contentment and trust in God’s provision, and why it’s so important to guard our hearts against it in today’s world of constant comparison. Most importantly, we’ll explore the antidote to envy--gratitude and love—and how embracing these virtues helps us celebrate others' success while finding peace in our own journey.

Grab your Bible and coffee, and join me as we uncover how to overcome envy and embrace contentment in God’s perfect plan for our lives.
