Ever feel like you’re being charged more… just because you can be?
And deeper still… have we started confusing comfort with fairness, and convenience with trust?
That’s at the heart of today’s episode.
We kick off with a freezer dilemma and a book that put things back in perspective. A simple story about running out of space turned into a deeper reflection on how we define need, and why our comfort zone might be shrinking our sense of contentment.
Then we look at a promising new idea: free food vending machines popping up in places like the Bronx. They’re offering more than groceries, they’re offering hope. But are they just band-aids, or real solutions?
And finally the big one: dynamic pricing. Also known as surveillance pricing. Why are your online prices shifting based on your clicks, your zip code, or even your panic? From AI-driven airfare changes to price hikes based on your browsing habits, we dig into what’s fair, what’s not, and what the Bible says about honest scales.
In today’s episode, Devin explores:
- Why a full freezer revealed a spiritual gap
- Whether food aid programs are solving problems or just softening them
- How companies are using your private data to raise your prices
- What Scripture says about fairness, honesty, and being truly seen
- Why a “free market” isn’t so free when surveillance sets the price
Philippians 4:11‑12 (NIV) —
“I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”💬 Want to talk about it more?
