Let’s Talk About Covetousness

When you hyper-focus on what you think you lack, you aren’t practicing gratitude, and you can become discontent. When you covet what someone else has, you will start to believe that God is withholding something good from you. That means our discontentment is not about our life circumstances but about the state of our hearts.  Melissa Kruger joins the Perrys to talk about a book Jackie stumbled upon when looking for resources on the topic of covetousness – one that Melissa wrote back in 2012 called “The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World.” Whatever you’re wanting, it will not ultimately be soul-satisfying. We spend our time chasing the contentment we want when it’s available to us simply by abiding with Jesus.  Connect with Melissa: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/melissabryankruger⁠  ⁠https://melissabkruger.com/⁠ Check out Melissa's book, "The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World" – ⁠https://www.amazon.com/Envy-Eve-Finding-Contentment-Covetous/dp/1845507754⁠ Jackie and Melissa's Ephesians study with Jasmine Holmes: ⁠https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/ephesians-bible-study-book-with-video-access-P005843174?⁠ Scripture References Genesis 3 Philippians 4:11-13 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 This Episode is Sponsored By: ⁠https://weekendtoremember.com — Register now with code PERRY to save $100 on any getaway!
