Someone Else's Win Isn't Your Loss

Ever feel resentful when someone else gets a break you had to earn the hard way? This episode digs into why rest, time, and success can feel like a competition — and why that instinct might be lying to us. Pastor Heidi uses a 2,000-year-old story about day laborers getting paid unfairly (or so it seems) alongside Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower to unpack how scarcity gets wired into our brains — and our systems. She doesn't stop at "be more generous," either; she pushes into a sharper question: what happens when generosity lets unfair systems off the hook? Expect a genuinely surprising turn partway through. By the end, you'll walk away with one small, doable practice for noticing abundance in your own life — no prior Bible knowledge required, no guilt trip attached.
