On The Subject of Jealousy with Dr. Chris Schroeder

Pastor Jeff Schreve and Dr. Chris Schroeder explore the destructive “green-eyed monster” of jealousy and envy through the story of Miriam and Aaron’s jealousy toward Moses in Numbers 12. They explain the difference between envy—wanting what someone else has—and jealousy—fearing the loss of what we have—and show how both are rooted in pride and insecurity. Through biblical examples including Joseph, Jonathan and David, and the prodigal son, they discuss sibling rivalry, comparison, competition, ministry, relationships, and the temptation to measure our worth by someone else’s success. The conversation points listeners toward humility, gratitude, contentment, and keeping their eyes fixed on Christ rather than comparing themselves with others.
