Greed is rarely about money alone. It’s about fear, scarcity, and the quiet conviction that what we have—or who we are—is not enough. In this opening episode of The Inner Work, we explore Greed vs. Gratitude through a thoughtful interfaith conversation that reframes one of humanity’s oldest struggles.
A Christian minister, a Jewish rabbi, and a Zen Buddhist teacher come together to examine how greed subtly shapes our desires, our relationships, and even our spiritual lives. Rather than moralizing, this conversation looks honestly at why greed takes hold—and how gratitude emerges across religious traditions as a powerful antidote, not through denial, but through awakening.
This is Episode 37 of the Converging Paths podcast and the first episode in our Inner Work series, an interfaith exploration of the Seven Deadly Sins and the life-giving virtues that help loosen their grip.
