Money, Possessions, & The Way of Jesus

What this episode covers

Jesus said that it's happier to give than to receive. But is that really the case? Many of us could list things we can buy that make us happy. Against the American Dream of working hard, saving up, so you can retire early and enjoy life, Jesus' words seem out of touch and even dangerous. What do we do with that? In this teaching, we look more deeply into Jesus' words about money and possessions and wrestle with the question of our own richness. And we discover the counterintuitive secret to happiness and peace that Jesus is inviting each of us into today.
