Show Notes
Consumer culture has infected the air we breathe.
In this episode, Micah and Shireen talk about the constant want for the newest and next best thing. Many of us have begun shaping a new lifestyle based on desires over needs. All of this connects with greed in the human heart. As a result, materialism has become the new dominant system of identity. By asking: “why am I doing what I’m doing and is this the wise way to live?” it allows us to bring our desires to God and to ask Him instead of doing just what we want. Being open-handed about materialistic things and smart about what you are digitally feeding into creates room for simplicity and generosity in our lives.
As you listen to this podcast, reflect on these questions:
How do we avoid finding our identity, fulfillment, and status in what we own? Where are you most vulnerable to the world around you influencing you? What is it feeding in your life?
