For many people, contentment feels just out of reach—always tied to the next raise, the next purchase, or the next season of life. Yet Scripture calls us to something deeper and more lasting: a contentment that doesn't depend on circumstances but rests in Christ Himself.Psalm 23 begins with a stunning declaration:“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” — Psalm 23:1 (NLT)David's words remind us that contentment doesn't come from acquiring more but from trusting the One who provides. Just as sheep rest securely under the care of their shepherd, we can rest in God's faithful provision.True contentment isn't about suppressing desire—it's about redirecting it. When we find sufficiency in Christ rather than in money, possessions, or achievements, we're freed from the trap of covetousness and anchored in the truth that in Him, we already have all we truly need.The Ancient Lie of DiscontentmentDiscontentment has plagued humanity from the beginning. In Eden, Adam and Eve had everything they needed, yet the serpent's lie convinced them they lacked something essential. Discontentment still whispers, “God is holding out on you—you'd be better off if you had more.”Today, that same voice is amplified through advertising, social media, and cultural comparison. We scroll through highlight reels and feel our lives don't measure up. But Hebrews 13:5 offers the antidote:“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”The cure for discontentment isn't having more—it's remembering that God is always with us.The Freedom of “Enough”Contentment is not resignation—it's liberation. It frees us from envy, overspending, and the crushing weight of comparison. Instead of striving endlessly for more, we learn to steward wisely what God has entrusted to us.Proverbs 30:8–9 captures this balanced perspective beautifully:“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me…”The wise steward seeks enough—not excess. When we live this way, our financial decisions change. We spend with purpose. We give with joy. We save with peace. Contentment reorients money from being our master to being a tool for God's Kingdom.Think of the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. With only a handful of flour and a little oil left, she faced famine. Yet when Elijah asked her to make him a cake first, she trusted God's word—and He provided, not with overflowing barns, but with daily sufficiency.Or consider the Macedonian believers in 2 Corinthians 8. Paul wrote,“In a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity.”Despite having little, they gave with glad hearts because their contentment was in Christ, not in their circumstances.These examples remind us that contentment and generosity often go hand in hand. When we are satisfied in Christ, we're free to bless others.Trusting the God Who ProvidesAt the heart of contentment is trust. Jesus said in Matthew 6:25–26,“Do not be anxious about your life… Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”Contentment flows from believing that God knows what we need and delights to provide for His children. As Elisabeth Elliot once wrote, “The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.”When Christ becomes our treasure, everything else finds its proper place.That's why Paul could say in 1 Timothy 6:6:“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”Contentment isn't a loss—it's true gain. It's the kind of wealth no market downturn can erase and no thief can steal. Choosing contentment doesn't mean settling for less; it means resting in the sufficiency of Christ.When we stop chasing “more” and start trusting God's daily provision, we discover freedom, peace, and joy. That's the essence of faithful stewardship—not just managing money, but aligning our hearts with the One who promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own several rental properties and would like to leave one to each of my children. I still want to collect the rental income, but I'd like to avoid probate and ensure a smooth transition when I pass away. How can I set up a trust to do that, and what's the best way to move forward?I got divorced in my mid-50s and had to start over from scratch. I'm now 66 with a little over $37,000 in my 401(k), which I'm eligible to roll over into an IRA. I'd really like to invest that money through a biblically based firm, but most of the ones I've contacted require a minimum investment of $50,000. Do you have any suggestions? And how can I build my savings over the next four years? $37,000 won't last long.I'm retired, and my husband will be retiring soon. We don't have a lot saved, but he does have a 401(k) through work. We're unsure what to do with it or how to ensure we'll have enough to live on in retirement. Can you help us think through the next steps?I work with students, and I've offered to invest $4,000, allowing them to choose some stocks to learn how investing works. Since I'll keep the money but let them make the decisions, what's the best way to buy individual stocks for this kind of project?My daughter's credit score is around 625, and she's committed to improving it. My score is over 800, and I've heard that adding her as an authorized user on my credit card could help her. Can you explain how that works and whether it could affect either of our credit scores?I feel completely lost when it comes to finances, but I want to set my family up for success.

In this episode of Also Featured in the Cast, we turn our attention to the “supporting roles” in King David's story—his brothers, his wife Michal, his son Absalom, and his loyal friend Jonathan. These often-overlooked characters reveal powerful truths about envy, bitterness, rebellion, and friendship. David's brothers struggled with jealousy toward the anointing on his life. Michal allowed bitterness to consume her joy. Absalom's pride and unforgiveness led him down a tragic path of rebellion. Yet Jonathan—humble, discerning, and selfless—shines as the truest friend David ever had. Each of us has people like these in our own story. The question is not just who's in our cast—but how we respond to them. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Samuel the Prophet(00:04:40) - David's Brothers in the David Movie(00:10:37) - "Envy is the wickedest sin"(00:12:13) - The Despicable First Wife of David(00:17:44) - The Story of David and Michael(00:22:53) - The Character of Absalom(00:31:00) - Jonathon in the David Movie(00:35:56) - The Leader's Notebook

A Note from JamesI'm such a fan of this guy. I loved The Psychology of Money — it felt like he was writing directly about me. I've made a lot of money, lost it all, made it again, lost it again. Over and over. And Morgan gets it.His new book, The Art of Spending Money, hits even deeper. It's not just about being rich; it's about freedom, simplicity, and contentment — the real returns of life. Every word of this conversation is a reminder that money is never about money. It's about independence.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James sits down with bestselling author Morgan Housel (The Psychology of Money, Same as Ever, The Art of Spending Money) to explore how wealth, happiness, and identity intersect.They talk about why most people spend money to impress strangers who aren't even paying attention, why saving isn't “delayed gratification,” and why independence is the ultimate luxury.Housel and Altucher go beyond finance — into psychology, meaning, and what happens when your identity gets tied up in your success.

There's a sickness in us. We are cruel to each other in ways we cannot seem to heal. We have an inveterate kind of unhappiness in our hearts we can't seem to put out. For the last hundred years, the reigning Western understanding of why we are so cruel and unhappy has been that it comes from outside of us, that it comes from conditions. But in the last few decades, the intelligentsia have increasingly admitted there's something deeper than that. The Bible says the problem with human beings is not environmental—that there is a poison in us that's called sin. And we need to understand the symptoms of that poisoning, the symptoms of sin. Let's look today at 1) the symptom of envy, 2) the root cause, and 3) the antidote. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 26, 1995. Series: The Seven Deadly Sins. Scripture: Numbers 11:4-6.

In this episode of the Anatomy of Change podcast, Seth Studley delves into the concept of boundaries, emphasizing their importance in personal growth and relationships. He reviews the ten laws of boundaries as outlined in Dr. Henry Cloud's book, discussing how these laws can help individuals navigate their responsibilities, respect, and personal power. The conversation highlights the necessity of clear communication and proactive boundary-setting to foster healthier relationships and personal well-being. Boundaries are essential for healthy relationships. The law of sowing and reaping emphasizes consequences of actions. You are responsible to others, not for their actions. True power lies in controlling your own choices. Respecting others' boundaries is crucial for mutual respect. Boundaries should stem from love, not fear or guilt. Evaluating the impact of boundaries is important. Proactive boundaries define what you stand for, not just against. Envy can be mitigated by focusing on personal goals. Boundaries require action and clear communication. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
When we think about financial threats, inflation, taxes, and debt are often the first that come to mind. But Scripture tells us there's a deeper, more dangerous threat—covetousness. Left unchecked, it poisons our joy, drives us to make poor financial choices, and blinds us to God's generosity.Covetousness is more than wanting what we don't have. It's a disordered desire that whispers: “I must have that to be happy, safe, or fulfilled.” Paul warns in Colossians 3:5, calling covetousness “idolatry.” Why? Because it dethrones God and places possessions on the throne of our hearts.In our finances, covetousness often manifests subtly—comparing our homes to those of our neighbors, upgrading cars that are still running well, or chasing investments out of envy. These patterns reveal misplaced worship.The Antidote: Contentment in ChristThe opposite of covetousness isn't deprivation—it's contentment. In Philippians 4:11–13, Paul testifies that he has learned contentment in every circumstance through Christ's strength.Contentment doesn't come naturally—it's cultivated. And when we trust in God's abundance, we no longer grasp at what others have. Instead, we rest in His provision. Think of Jesus feeding the 5,000: what looked like scarcity became abundance in His hands.Social media magnifies our envy, turning vacations, houses, and life stages into comparison traps. The tenth commandment—“You shall not covet”—goes straight to the heart, reminding us that God cares not just about our actions but about our desires.If you feel this struggle, take heart—you're not alone. The Spirit empowers us to shift from envy to gratitude, from restless striving to restful trust.Practical Steps to Combat CovetousnessFighting covetousness is not about self-shame—it's about redirecting our worship. Here are three practices rooted in Scripture:Practice Gratitude—1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to give thanks in all circumstances. Keeping a daily gratitude list shifts focus from what's missing to what God has given. Budget as Worship—A budget isn't just restrictive—it's a discipleship tool. By directing money toward giving, saving, and wise spending, we declare, “Lord, I want You to guide my resources.” Give Generously—Paul urges believers to “be rich in good works, generous and ready to share” (1 Tim. 6:18). Every gift declares that our identity is not in what we own but in who owns us.Redirecting Desire Toward ChristJesus warns in Luke 12:15: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” The rich fool who built bigger barns illustrates the danger of letting wealth replace intimacy with God.Covetousness dies when Christ becomes enough. Hebrews 13:5 reminds us: “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”At its root, covetousness is a worship issue. We long for what others have because our hearts are restless for the only One who satisfies. St. Augustine put it well: “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.”The cure isn't less desire but rightly directed desire—desire fulfilled in Christ. When we practice gratitude, budget as worship, and live generously, we shift our gaze from possessions that perish to a Savior who is more than enough.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We sold our house after some delays, but in the meantime, I withdrew funds from my IRA, intending to pay them back within 60 days.

How is kindness the opposite of envy? Will kindness really cure the deep longings envy points towards? Listen in to discover how rejoicing with and loving others may be the unlikely keys to happiness in all circumstances.
Eve's Plum captured the multi-genre energy of the early 90s on their 1993 debut Envy. Fronted by Colleen Fitzpatrick (later known as pop star Vitamin C) the band blended fuzzed-out guitars and hook-heavy melodies that sat comfortably between the noisy shoegaze of Swervedriver and the sweet hooks of Letters to Cleo. Tracks like “Blue” and “I Want It All” showcase their sharp, dynamic songwriting wrapped in punchy production. While Envy didn't break through commercially, it hinted at the band's knack for balancing angst and charm, that maybe a little editing could have improved.

Envy can lead us into any of the three emotions we've already discussed: sadness, anger, and anxiety. Deep down, we are always striving to return to joy. The problem is that we often define joy on our own terms rather than God's, which makes it elusive. Paul, however, finds true contentment because his focus is on God and others. He cares about what matters to God—reaching more people for Christ, considering others as more important than himself, and knowing Christ above all else. That is why he can say, “I can do all things through Christ.” His life is consumed with Christ, and because of that, he is not overwhelmed Speaker: Kevin Stiles
This week we continued in our series, “Curing the Seven Deadly Sins”, and we dove into one of sin's sneakiest assassins—Envy.It's the sin that turns brothers into rivals, friends into foes, and hearts into prisons. Unlike the other deadly sins, envy never feels good, it only eats you alive.But here's the hope: the same God who confronted Cain tenderly also comes to us with grace, offering freedom, healing, and a new way of living marked by gratitude and contentment.Tune into this week's message as we exposed envy's grip, diagnosed its root, and discovered how Jesus, the better Abel, delivered us from it in a message titled, “From Envy to Contentment”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

This week, DB reflects on last week's fantastic conversation with Dr. Claire Perelman. Let's take a moment to really unpack jealousy and envy, no matter if you're ENM or monogamous. What does jealousy say about us -- and what does it not? There's a sense of shame around jealousy that we can move past using our emotional honesty and by naming what we're feeling. Plus: a vocab lesson on jealousy versus envy. They're different! JEALOUSY SCRIPTS YOU CAN STEALWhen jealousy pops up mid-scroll: “Hey love, I'm feeling a jealousy pang. I'm going to take 10 minutes to breathe and journal, then could we do a quick check-in about Friday's plans? I think I need a clearer start/stop time so I can plan something for me.” When you need reassurance without rules: “I'm not asking you to stop seeing them. I'm asking for a reassurance ritual--a goodnight text and a Saturday morning debrief. That would help my nervous system a lot.” When you want to celebrate your partner but still have feels: “I'm happy you had a great date, and I'm noticing some jealousy in me. Could we carve 30 minutes tomorrow for us? I want to reconnect.” Repair after a jealous blow-up: “I got flooded and got snappy. I'm sorry. The story in my head was ‘I'm being replaced.' Here's what I'm going to try next time: pause, breathe, then ask for a check-in.” ABOUT SEASON 12 Season 12 of Sex Ed with DB is ALL ABOUT PLEASURE! Solo pleasure. Partnered pleasure. Orgasms. Porn.

Envy is something many of us struggle with, especially in today's culture. The problem is that all too soon envy of what someone owns or has accomplished morphs into jealousy where we don't want them to have or enjoy what they have! How do we stop this comparative and unhealthy thinking that's harmful to us and prevents us from loving people in a pure and Godly manner?In this message, Jill Briscoe gives practical insight to help free us from the burden of want and instead rejoice in the triumphs of others.

Send us a textWhat if the verse you've always treated like a warm blanket is actually a wake-up call? We take a hard, hopeful look at James 4:8 and discover that “draw near to God” isn't about vibes or goosebumps but about culture, movement, and surrender. We share a tangible generosity update—kitchens, dorms, and classrooms coming to life at a Kenyan orphanage, plus an adopted neighborhood school—and connect it to the deeper question underneath it all: what culture is shaping your heart?We unpack James 3–4 to contrast two competing cultures—heaven-down and hell-up—and show how the fruit of your life reveals the soil beneath it. Envy, selfish ambition, and constant conflict don't just happen; they grow from a culture we've chosen, often by drift more than decision. You'll hear why nearness requires agency (you move first), why drift is inevitable without intention, and how simple, honest rhythms—a guarded first 15 minutes with God, gathered worship, service that costs, and obedience that sticks—can reorient your days.Along the way, we demystify spiritual “signals” that aren't biblical, revisit God's own preferences for worship, and sit with a surprising truth: the Almighty yearns jealously for your nearness. Not a transactional meeting, but a life shared. We end with a clear pathway to reset—submit to God, resist the devil, cleanse your hands, purify your heart, humble yourself—and an invitation to choose a heaven-down culture in the places that matter most.If this challenged you or sparked a needed reset, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Welcome to Teachback Tuesday, where we play the most popular episodes from previous seasons. This week's episode, “Escaping the Envy Trap” received thousands of downloads when we first aired it in 2021 and it made me wonder: How many people are stuck in this trap of studying other people's lives and wanting to be where they are, or to have what they have, or to look like they look? A hyperfocus on other people's lives is a shortcut to envy, and envy is rotten for the soul. This episode will give you several things to consider, as well as pointing the way out of this consuming trap. "A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones."

Today I'm joined by Leslie Stanfield of Lace Envy Alterations in Spokane, WA. Leslie is known in our community for her endless energy, her willingness to always learn something new, and the beautiful work she delivers to her brides.In this episode, Leslie shares her story of starting out sewing from home while raising five kids, and how that eventually led to opening her own bridal studio. We talk about what it really looks like to make the leap from working for a shop to running your own space, including how to budget for rent, find the right location, and price your work with confidence.Leslie also opens up about some of the tougher sides of this business, from handling emotionally draining fittings to navigating a serious shoulder injury right in the middle of wedding season. Her perspective on boundaries, resilience, and leaning on your community is one that every bridal seamstress needs to hear.In this episode:Leslie's journey from sewing “fun money” projects at home to running a professional studioHow she found and afforded her first storefrontThe importance of setting boundaries in busy season (no more 4 a.m. sewing nights!)How she handled a shoulder injury and kept her business afloatHer encouragement to seamstresses who are thinking about taking the leap into business ownershipConnect with Leslie:Website: https://laceenvyalts.com/Join the membership here: https://secretsofabridalseamstress.com/Learn more about the retreats here: https://secretsofabridalseamstress.squarespace.com/new-pageConnect with Nadine on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/secretsofabridalseamstress/
In this engaging conversation, the band Second Harbour discusses their unique approach to music creation, the challenges of the Montreal music scene, and their excitement for an upcoming tour in the US. They share insights into their songwriting process, the importance of content creation, and their strong connection to hockey. The band emphasizes their DIY ethos and the significance of building a community around their music, while also reflecting on their growth and the reception of their latest releases.Intro Music Courtesy of Overthinker: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5iQ2tyRloyNp6Yjd5sv73C?si=ib3bYCwHSYSYW16iiwPHHQ Power chords and crashing boards. Mikey, Tom, and Justin talk music, hockey, and anything else that gets in their way. Tom and Mikey are lifelong friends that grew up on Long Island during the glory days of alternative music where our local bands were As Tall As Lions, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Bayside, The Sleeping, Envy on the Coast, you get the point. We spent many nights together at The Downtown, catching any pop-punk, indie, hardcore, or emo band that came through. This was not a phase, Mom! Fast forward 20 years and we are still just as passionate about the scene as we were during our girl jeans and youth XL band tees days. Tom and Mikey are diehard New York Islanders fans, but Justin (Bolts fan) likes to remind us that we are #notanislespodcast. As we got older we realized we can like more than one thing and running beside our love for music has always been our love for hockey. We have realized we are not alone in this thinking, actually there are many of us that love these two things! This podcast explores just how connected they are!NEW EPISODE EVERY TUESDAY!

Listen to this week's sermon, In the Wilderness preached by Rev. Benjamin Kandt from Numbers 12:1-16.
This Sunday, we kicked off a new series called Curing the 7 Deadly Sins. Over the next ten weeks we'll walk through struggles that have been tripping people up for centuries—Pride, Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Wrath. More importantly we will discover the freedom Jesus offers in their place!This week we started the conversation with Pride! Pride so often sits at the root of the others, whispering that we can handle life on our own, that God's way is optional, that His grace isn't really needed. But the truth is, pride keeps us from seeing God clearly, while humility opens our eyes.This weekend wasn't just about naming sin, it's about finding freedom. Together we learned how humility opens the door to God's best. Tune into this week's message titled, “From Pride to Humility”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Sometimes we may wish that God had chosen us for something bigger, more important, more public, or more lasting. We may even feel more qualified or like we deserve it more than the person serving in the role you want. But it is not for us to question the Lord's choice for us or for others. He knows the plans He has for each one of us, and He has His reasons. Instead of wishing we had a different role to play, we should give our all to the purpose He has for us.
Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Servants & Stewards series on Joseph.In Genesis 37, Joseph is betrayed by those who should have loved him the most. In this passage, we confront the pain of absent fathers, the poison of envy, and the cultural fractures that mirror our own families. Yet amid the injustice and loss, we discover a God who steps into our brokenness — a Father to the fatherless and the only firm foundation when everything else gives way.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on September 28, 2025, at 9:30am.

How would it feel if you decided—just for a moment—to let the universe hold you and guide you? Do you feel peace and release? Or anxiety and panic? If it's the latter, you're likely struggling with fear of letting go, being hyper-focused on outcomes, or needing to ground into safety. This episode is here to remind you that surrender may be your medicine. In this round table discussion, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive deep into one of the hardest but most transformative parts of manifestation: surrender. They unpack what surrender really means—beyond the vague “just let go”—and how it shows up in our bodies, our relationships, and our manifestation process. From identifying ego attachments and timelines, to navigating envy and resentment, to following joy pings as a portal to alignment, this episode is both expansive and grounding. If you've ever wondered how to release control, this conversation will change how you see surrender forever. It's not about giving up. It's about opening more space to dance with the universe.
