In a world that constantly pushes us to want more—more stuff, more status, more success—how do we recognize when consumption and materialism have become distractions from our faith? In this episode of Driven to Distraction, we dive into the cultural pressures that fuel an endless cycle of striving, comparison, and discontentment.
We’ll explore the spiritual impact of materialism, how it can become an idol in our lives, and why Jesus calls us to a different way of living. With biblical insight and practical steps, we’ll learn how to shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal. Join us as we uncover how to break free from the grip of “more” and realign our hearts with God’s true provision and purpose.
