Money makes the world go round. But it also fuels cycles of overconsumption, environmental destruction, and depression. In this podcast we talk about the problem with greed, how to know when we have enough, and some tips to escape the endless shopping cycle. We discuss mindset shifts, questions to ask before making a purchase, and how greed isn’t just a problem for the rich. We also touch on the impact of greed on people and the planet including sweatshops, limited natural resources, waste management, and global food insecurity.
They say “Greed makes the world go ‘round”—but at what cost? It’s so common we hardly notice it, yet it quietly shapes how we live, spend, and see others. This Sunday, we’re pulling back the curtain on greed: exposing its grip, examining its effects, and listening to what Jesus has to say about the one sin that no one thinks they have.
We’re all so busy, and yet some days it feels like we got nothing done, like nothing we do even matters anyway. In this podcast we use the framework of “sloth” as a way to understand what matters, we ask questions like “why are we so busy?”, “why isn’t social media making me feel fulfilled?”, and “what creates burnout?”. We talk honestly about what to do when it feels like nothing matters and how depression and chronic illness factor into all of this. We navigate these challenges together and search for practices that provide a way forward into hope and meaning.
When we hear the word sloth, we think of slow-moving animals or binge-watching Netflix—hardly the stuff of deadly sins. But what if we’ve misunderstood it? Sloth isn’t just laziness—it’s indifference. It’s the countless distractions that fill our time with trivial things while ignoring what’s really important. It’s the quiet voice that whispers, “Nothing really matters.” Work doesn’t matter. Life doesn’t matter. Love doesn’t matter. Faith doesn’t matter. Even God doesn’t matter. And that’s why sloth is so dangerous. It slowly pulls us away from purpose, from loving others, from serving our community, and even from believing the gospel.
What is envy? How is envy different from jealousy? And why does it even matter? These are some of the questions we wrestle with this week. We also talk about the influence of social media on our desires, the problem with consumer culture, and the importance of checking ourselves regularly. Although envy is something we all struggle with, there is a way forward through gratitude, compassion and humility. Listen in to find out what that looks like and why it’s so simple and yet so challenging.
