Today, we're excited to bring you a special episode—a replay of one of our favorite sessions from last year's Restore Gathering, featuring Dave Butler.We're also thrilled to let you know that Restore 2025 is happening this September 25–27 in Orem, Utah, and this episode is a great preview of the kind of experience you can expect—thoughtful, joyful, expansive, and rooted in a deep desire to love and understand more fully.In this session, Dave explores the idea of Holy Envy—a concept that invites us to not just tolerate other faiths, but to find deep beauty and truth in them. He shares beautiful personal stories and wrestles with how to honor the uniqueness of our own tradition while also recognizing the divine fingerprints in others. He ultimately offers a powerful vision of restoration—not as something narrow or exclusive, but as a healing and gathering work that makes room for the whole human family. This session made us laugh, think, and feel more committed to becoming people who love well, across all kinds of differences. We hope it does the same for you—and that it gives you a taste of what's coming at Restore this year. You can find all the details and registration info at faithmatters.org.

Envy is a sin that has plagued people throughout the ages. Even God's people wrestle with it at times. Exactly what is it; and how does it work? What does it do to us? Join Pastor Kyle as he unpacks this issue found in Psalm 73.

The Apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans in chapter 3, verse 23 that “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” It's true. We are all sinners and in need of God's forgiveness and grace. Early Christians began to group sins together, and by the 6th century, a list of seven sins had emerged. They were called the “seven deadly sins” because they lead to death. Others called them the “cardinal sins” or “capital vices” because they were the worst of the sins. In this series, each of our pastors will explore one of the deadly sins even as we give thanks for God's grace that frees us from sin. Today, Rev. Alice Whitson preaches on Envy. Our scripture reading is Genesis 4:1-9.

Read Online“Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.” Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” John 20:27–29Thomas the Apostle, in many ways, represents each and every one of us in this exchange with Jesus. We'd like to believe that we always believe and are not unbelieving. But it's important to admit the humble truth that we may not believe as deeply as we should. And it's important to reflect upon our own reaction to the blessings that others receive that we do not.Recall that Thomas was not among the other Apostles when Jesus first appeared to them. Therefore, when Thomas returned and heard that Jesus had appeared and that he missed His appearance, he clearly felt bad. Unfortunately, the sorrow Thomas felt at not being present when the Lord appeared to the others left him with a certain bitterness rather than joy. This is the sin of envy. Envy is a certain sorrow over the blessings others receive that we do not. Ideally, Thomas would have rejoiced at the blessing that the other Apostles received by encountering the risen Lord. But, instead, his sorrow at missing this even left him sad. He said, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger into the nail marks and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”Why was Thomas absent from this encounter with our Lord? Perhaps it was by divine providence, in that God wanted Thomas to set an example for us. If so, then one example Thomas set was that we must humbly rejoice in the blessings others receive when we are not also the recipient. Of course, if Thomas were there, then it would have been easier for him to share in the joy. But, in many ways, Thomas' absence provided him an even greater opportunity. An opportunity that he failed to embrace.When you see others receive blessings from God, how do you respond? Many people respond by immediately looking at themselves, wishing they were blessed in the same way. They struggle with envy. They think, “I wish I had received that blessing.” This form of envy is not always easy to see. For that reason, Thomas is given to us as a witness of what not to do in this situation. Of course, Thomas is not a horrible person, which is why Jesus does later appear to him. That time, Thomas spoke words that are traditionally spoken as a devotion by the faithful at Mass when the Consecration occurs. He said, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus then gently rebukes Thomas by saying, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” But this gentle rebuke was an act of love, in that Jesus wanted Thomas to ponder the reason for his unbelief. Jesus clearly wanted Thomas to examine the unbelief caused by envy, which appears to have led to an intentional lack of faith. Reflect, today, upon this holy Apostle. Today, Saint Thomas the Apostle is among the great saints in the Kingdom of Heaven. God used him to teach us these important lessons about envy, humility and faith. Let his weakness, from which he fully recovered, help you examine your own struggle with envy over the blessings that others receive that you do not. Learn to rejoice always in the ways that God is at work in our world and learn to grow in humility, so that when others are blessed in ways that you are not, you react as Saint Thomas ultimately did: “My Lord and my God!” My most generous Lord, You pour forth Your blessings upon others, day and night. As I see those blessings, help me to overcome all temptations toward envy so that I may rejoice in Your grace given to all. You are my Lord and my God, and I thank You for every way that You bless my life and the lives of those around me. Fill me with a deeper gratitude, dear Lord, for every grace and blessing I see every day, especially those graces not given directly to me.

Today I want to talk about envy. It's something I've been harboring recently as well as I feel it's an emotion we often ascribe to being something we shouldn't feel. I believe we can do better and argue that envy is not bad, that it can teach us more about ourselves than we realize, and there is a way to move on from this in a healthy way rather than letting it out with undesirable consequences. FREE 30 Minute Coaching CallIf you're in a rut, want to change your self worth, lack confidence, or feel unsure about your future, schedule a free coaching call with me.

In this engaging conversation, Julio Tavarez, bassist for Bob Moses and former member of As Tall As Lions, shares his musical journey, detailing how he connected with Bob Moses through a friendship with drummer Joe Zizzo. He reflects on the challenges of leaving his previous band, the excitement of playing major festivals, and the collaborative process behind his current project, Work.

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!

We're joined today by special guest speaker Trey VanCamp from Passion Creek Church in Arizona.

“Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.” — Ecclesiastes 4:4Ecclesiastes shows us how even good work can go wrong when driven by envy. What starts as diligence can quickly become a pursuit of status. Today, we'll look at how chasing approval leaves us empty—and how God invites us into something much greater.The Idol of StatusThe Bible Project says Ecclesiastes “targets all the ways we try to build meaning and purpose in life apart from God.” It gives voice to the Preacher, who carefully exposes the emptiness of paths like pleasure, wealth, and status. In recent weeks, we've looked at the idols of pleasure and accumulation. Today, we turn to the idol of status.This one can be harder to spot. The line between excellence and envy is thin. Ecclesiastes 4:4 says, “Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor.” That's a striking thought. Our motivation may not be love of the work or calling—it's often the quiet urge to compete. To keep up. To be seen.That's what status does. It whispers, You're not enough—unless others notice you. And without realizing it, our careers, spending, and even our generosity, can become ways of proving our worth.“Keeping up with the Joneses” isn't just a saying—it's a way of life for many. We compare houses, vacations, schools, and the pressure to match others can lead to debt, burnout, and dissatisfaction with what God has already provided.And in our digital age, the pressure's amplified. Social media showcases only the highlight reel, not the debt, exhaustion, or stress that often accompany it. But we still scroll and wonder, “Why not me?”A Better Way ForwardEcclesiastes answers that longing with honesty. In verse 8, the Preacher describes someone who works tirelessly, builds wealth, but has no one to share it with: “There is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches…” It's a picture of success without joy. Activity without peace. A full schedule, but an empty soul.However, he then offers a better alternative. In verse 6, we read: “Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.” In other words, it's better to have less with peace than more with anxiety. That's not laziness—it's wisdom. A life lived with margin, grounded in God's provision.Work as Worship, Not PerformanceThis is the invitation Ecclesiastes extends: not to give up on excellence, but to anchor it in the right place. When our work flows from a love for God and a desire to serve others, it becomes a blessing, not a burden. It becomes worship.We don't need applause—we need peace. And in Christ, we already have it. His approval is not based on performance. It's based on grace. That frees us from striving to be seen and lets us rest in being known.Maybe that's where you are—tired, overextended, wondering what you're chasing. Ecclesiastes invites you to step off the treadmill of comparison. You don't have to strive for identity. You already have it in Jesus.We often see examples of this. A professional sacrifices evenings and weekends to climb the corporate ladder, only to feel lonely at the top. A family maxes out their budget to project an image, while tension quietly builds at home. These aren't just stories—they're warnings. And they echo Ecclesiastes' caution about what we're trading in our pursuit of more.Sometimes this isn't just about envy. It's about fear—fear of being unseen, of being left behind. So we push harder, hoping success will quiet that fear. But only God can give the peace we're looking for.Redefining SuccessContentment doesn't mean quitting. It means redefining success. It means anchoring your worth in something that lasts. When you stop striving in vain, your ambition gets reoriented. Your work becomes more joyful. Your giving becomes more meaningful.So ask yourself today: Who am I trying to impress? What am I really chasing?If your hands are full but your heart is empty, Ecclesiastes invites you to trade performance for peace. True success isn't about being noticed or admired—it's about being faithful with what God has given you. And your worth? It's not something you have to earn or achieve. In Christ, you have nothing to prove because in Him, you are deeply loved, fully known, and eternally valued.Want to Go Deeper?If you want to dig deeper into these themes, we've created a new study just for you. It's called Wisdom Over Wealth, and it explores what Scripture—especially the book of Ecclesiastes—has to say about money, work, and living for what really matters.This month, when you give $35 or more to support the ministry, we'll send it to you as our thanks.

Listen along as we continue our journey through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 5:17-42  Proverbs 14:30 “Envy is one of the most miserable vices. Most other vices tend to produce some kind of pleasure, however momentary. But envy is nothing but unpleasant, through and through. It is the constant thief of joy. - Gavin Ortlund We can glimpse it in the book of Acts: the method of the kingdom will match the message of the kingdom. The kingdom…goes out into the world vulnerable, suffering, praising, praying, misunderstood, misjudged, vindicated, celebrating: always – as Paul puts it in one of his letters – bearing in the body the dying of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be displayed. - NT Wright Ex 34:4-7 “When God describes himself, He doesn't start with how powerful He is or how He knows everything there is to know or how He's been around since before time and space and there's no one else like Him in the universe. That's all true, but apparently, to God, it's not the most important thing. When God describes himself, He starts with His name. Then He talks about what we call character. He's compassionate and gracious; he's slow to anger; he's abounding in love and faithfulness” - John Mark Comer

Perfect Love drives out fear...and envy! Proverbs 27:4 says “Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?”  James 3:15 even says envy is demonic in nature! Though it may seem like jealousy and comparison have the power, we're going to talk about a greater power that far surpasses and overcomes, Jesus! When we understand Jesus came as God's one and only Son tosave us, to have life to the full now and into eternity, when we didn't deserve it, then we want to show this grace and love for others, putting their needs before our own like Jesus did for us. It all goes back to the cross. Picture Jesus on the cross, dying for you, when we do, what more could we askfor? What's there to be jealous of?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jeff Garwood from Daufuskie Island, SC. Jeff, your partnership with us through Project23 is helping others discover the truth that changes hearts. This study is for you today. Our text today is Mark 7:14-23: And he called the people to him again and said to them, “Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.” And when he had entered the house and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” — Mark 7:14-23 Jesus makes a powerful point here—but there's more going on beneath the surface. This Gospel account was dictated by Peter to Mark. And you can almost hear Peter's voice behind the detail: “(Thus he declared all foods clean).” Why does that matter? Because years later, Peter would receive a vision in Acts 10—when God dropped a sheet from heaven filled with animals considered unclean. And God said, “What God has made clean, do not call common.” That moment cracked Peter's heart open to the inclusion of Gentiles in the Gospel. But even then, Peter would struggle. In Galatians 2, Paul rebukes him for pulling away from Gentile believers. So when Peter recounts this scene in Mark 7, it's personal. Jesus didn't just change the rules—he changed Peter's heart. Jesus redefined purity as something internal, not external. And Jesus says the real issue isn't what goes into your mouth—it's what comes out of your heart. Sin doesn't enter through your fork—it flows from within. That list Jesus gives? It's a mirror. Pride. Envy. Deceit. Lust. It's not out there—it's in here. This isn't just convicting. It's freeing. Because you can't clean yourself with religion, rituals, or rules. You need a new heart. A Jesus-transformed heart. One that lives from the inside out. We all tend to clean the outside while ignoring the inside. We act polite but harbor bitterness. We appear holy, but we think impure thoughts. We perform well but never confess pride. Start paying attention to your heart. Don't just look at your actions—listen to your motives. Is your obedience flowing from love or from fear of being seen? Are you generous because you care—or because you want credit? Ask Jesus to do the heart surgery only he can do. Today, stop settling for behavior modification. Start praying for heart transformation. #InsideOutFaith, #HeartOverHabits, #PeterUnderstood ASK THIS: Where am I focused more on appearances than true heart change? What sin on Jesus' list hits closest to home right now? How have I tried to use tradition or morality to cover brokenness? Where do I need to invite Jesus to cleanse me from the inside? DO THIS: Spend five minutes today asking Jesus not just to clean your life—but to cleanse your heart. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I confess my sin isn't out there—it's in me. Cleanse my heart. I want to live from the inside out. PLAY THIS: “Clean” – Natalie Grant.

In this powerful conclusion to Proverbs chapter 3, Rick and Doc examine the sobering truths found in verses 31–35. The discussion warns against envying oppressors and embracing their ways, unpacking the spiritual danger of admiration for the wicked. They teach that God's curse falls upon the house of the wicked, while His blessing rests on the just. The highlight of the study is verse 32, revealing that God shares His secret counsel only with the righteous—not with the proud or perverse. The conversation takes aim at societal envy, secret societies, and narcissistic influencers, all while emphasizing the divine reward of humility and wisdom. A deeply relevant message for today's spiritually chaotic world.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.

We don't have to be envious because Kṛṣṇa is so opulent that if you just have your own bhajan, it's enough, because Kṛṣṇa gives everything to everyone, all at once. You don't have to worry that somebody got more fame than you do, or they can sing better, or they have better association. We all have an eternal relationship with Kṛṣṇa, who's the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And there's no lack ever—that feeling of, "Oh, I didn't get it," or "Somebody else is better than me," or something. We don't have to have that; it's not necessary. We can just be sincere and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and take shelter of Kṛṣṇa and be very, very, very grateful. And I see the devotees who are most advanced: they're joyful when they see other devotees advancing, when they see others that have shining qualities, they become gleeful. And that's real life. There's no end to the happiness that we experience when we feel grateful for devotees. And we love devotees because they're loved by Kṛṣṇa. That's real life. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Blige Strength of a Woman Tour" with special guest Mario, highlighting the amazing experience and the powerful moment of performing "You Should Let Me Love You" with Mario for the first time.  Ne-Yo delves into his early career, including his challenging experience with Columbia Records and the creative freedom he found at Def Jam under L.A. Reid, which shaped his debut album.   He discusses the evolution of R&B, the importance of male vulnerability in songwriting, and how it is a subject matter he still wishes to explore in his music. He and Chuck Harmony recount the serendipitous story of their first collaboration, which sparked Harmony's career and led to Ne-Yo writing hits for Céline Dion, Mary J. Blige, and Janet Jackson in a single night!  Ne-Yo also shares the creation process behind his own hits like "So Sick" and "Closer," revealing how L.A. Reid strategically planned the release of "Stay" before "So Sick" as a "jab before the knockout punch."  He recounts the surprising origin of Beyoncé's "Flaws and All," initially intended for Britney Spears, and how Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" album also came from songs originally written for Britney.  Ne-Yo shares his desire to collaborate with Stevie Wonder, who, along with Michael Jackson, influenced his acceptance of his own voice.  He also tells the wild story of his group Envy's disastrous performance on Showtime at the Apollo.  Finally, Ne-Yo addresses his personal life, discussing his decision to be open about his polyamorous relationships and offering candid advice on honesty and living authentically.  This is one for the books!

"If they ain't hating on you, then you aren't doing something right." Shaquille O'Neal One of our favorite people and top Pivot Podcast guest returns as we welcome a man who needs no introduction, our friend, the one and only Shaquille O'Neal. Sitting with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor- Shaq jumps right into the chaos and fun of the world we know, the dynamic of life after sports, shares some inside stories, offers his thoughts on current NBA, the mindset shift it took to build a business empire, give back to communities, and discover his true purpose. From the end of TNT's Inside the NBA show to his relationship with Charles Barkley, Shaq says how he avoids emotions around changes he can't control and admits the two occasions he cried, losing his sister to cancer and losing his brother Kobe Bryant. He expounds on questions surrounding his relationship with Kobe and how he regrets not reaching out sooner as he explains the tough lesson in the reality that once someone is gone, they are gone forever with no redos or second chances. Shaq continues telling Ryan, Channing and Fred that we have to approach life with open hearts to always forgive and be the bigger person even when it's most difficult. He reveals what's been the glue to his bond with Barkley over the years and the why that we never knew existed. The icon's larger than life personality comes through as the guys talk about what really happens after the final buzzer sounds as Shaq keeps it real speaking on his era of players vs now, breaks down the NBA finals between Oklahoma City and Indiana, dismisses the small market vs large market not making entertaining basketball, weighs in on the true GOAT conversation, and who he sees as the current player who wears the crown as the league's face, and best ways of navigating identity outside of the NBA. From owning businesses to being a father and mentor, Shaq reveals what keeps motivating him to keep making big moves, and it's not just money...this conversation is full of laughs, locker room talk and true fellowship as we really cover so many aspects of life and do it in a pivotal way where you are laughing one moment and in deep thought the next.

In this episode, Kirk dives deep into the root of envy—how it steals our joy, warps our view of God's blessings, and distracts us from gratitude. Through Psalm 34 and honest reflection, Kirk reminds us of the goodness of God and how His grace is the ultimate antidote to jealousy.
