Too Much of a Good Thing

Send us Fan MailThis episode pushes back on the idea that “too much of a good thing is a good thing” by looking at the wisdom of Proverbs. While good things are gifts from God, Proverbs shows how excess can quietly turn those blessings into burdens that control us and rob us of joy. Through examples like honey, rest, money, and words, we explore how overindulgence dulls gratitude and distorts priorities. The call is not to avoid good things, but to practice self-control and learn what “enough” looks like. Real wisdom is found in enjoying God’s gifts without letting them replace God Himself.
