What do a plague of locusts and our inner world have in common? In this vivid and surprisingly relatable conversation, Cody and Jesse unpack how a scarcity mindset can transform us—just like grasshoppers turning into swarming locusts when the environment shifts. Through stories from childhood, garden failures, and even reality TV survival shows, they explore how fear of “not enough” can quietly dictate our decisions and relationships. But they also name the quiet miracle of abundance: people who live open-handed, present, and generous even in the face of limitations. This episode holds up a mirror to our everyday stress and invites us to imagine a different way of being—one rooted in trust, freedom, and enoughness.
