Episode 8: Rich Toward God—Freedom From the Lie of More
In a world that tells us to build fences and walls, Jesus invites us to build tables.
This episode journeys through the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13–21), exposing the lie that more is ever enough. We reflect on how true richness is found not in possessions, but in relationship—with God and with others. This is a call to break free from fear-driven accumulation and lean into trust, community, and sacred generosity.
🌿 Whether you’re tempted by “just a little more” or longing for peace in simplicity, this episode speaks gently to the wilderness within us all.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Abundance without purpose leads to emptiness. The rich fool stored up goods but neglected his soul.
Generosity disrupts the cycle of scarcity. When we share with others, we make room for God’s provision to flow.
God's economy is measured by love, not excess. Being rich toward God means letting our lives reflect compassion and trust.
💛 Gentle Invitation to Action
This week, take one intentional step toward being "rich toward God":
Share something of value (time, resources, or presence) with someone in need.
Reflect on an area where “more” has become a distraction.
Set aside 5 quiet minutes daily to thank God for what is already enough.
