A Prayer Amid an Epidemic by Kerry Weber for America Magazine
Melissa and I chat about the common definition of contentment vs. contentment in the life of a follower of Jesus. We also chat about the enemy of contentment and how that enemy is so often the root of all sin.
4:52 Will you share a little of your faith journey with us? How did you come to know Jesus?
Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Sanderson High School
"Jesus found me in a large public high through the ministry of a woman who was there as a teacher."
"That was one of the greatest gifts- the Bible was never foreign to me."
8:34 What was going on in your life that lead to the writing of your book The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World and eventually the 8 part video teaching?
"I realized I didn't have a circumstance problem back in Scotland, I had a heart problem...My heart is constantly wanting more and so maybe my lack of contentment was less about what was happening in my life and more about what was happening in my heart."
11:25 Contentment is defined as "a state of happiness and satisfaction," but how do we define contentment through the lens of the Bible?
"I think what we see Biblically is contentment is this deep sense of hope and joy in the Lord and in what He has done that really is insulated from circumstances."
"The heart, in a sense, that is reigned in to God's will for His life, that is the contented heart."
