Why Envy is Ruining Your Relationships (And How to Fix It) | Live Free with Pastor Josh Howerton
Ever feel like comparison is stealing your joy? It might be time to fight back.
In this conversation with hosts Mike Breaux, Chris Kuti, and Marc McCartney, we unpack how to find encouragement and speak life over others, even when envy tries to creep in. Learn how gratitude and generosity can break the cycle of entitlement and competition, especially when it comes to money and success. Social media can shape our faith—for better or worse—so how do we navigate it in a way that fuels contentment instead of comparison? Plus, we’ll dive into the power of community, accountability, and celebrating others as we build stronger relationships. Let’s stop measuring ourselves against others and start living free!
