In a culture that constantly tells us we need more to be happy, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparison and discontent. In this episode, Ralph explores how chasing after “more” often leads to debt, discouragement, and a never-ending finish line that keeps moving just out of reach. But Scripture offers a better way—one that helps us cultivate contentment in a world that says “never enough.”
