Financial Pathway

Envy, jealousy, and comparison have been around as long as there have been people.

But social media creates a new environment for these impulses to wreak havoc. It has rightly been said that "comparison is the thief of joy".

Today we talk about how social media has given rise to new generation of "fake rich": people who publicly flaunt their material success but in reality are broke and in debt.

Dustin Alley is a former Marine and the pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Bristol, CT.

He recently founded the Men After God community which is designed to help men ages 27-45 with a family achieve Godly success with a thriving faith and family.

We talk about what led him to start this movement, why young men are particularly susceptible to unhealthy obsession with personal success, and how true success flows out of a healthy relationship with God and with your family.
