Joyful Journey

From the moment we open our eyes to when our head hits the pillow, our lives are filled with a million and one decisions, small and great.

As Christians, we want the choices we make to honor the Lord and to align with His wisdom and love as described in Scripture. This episode, Janet and Jocelyn consider how to make wise decisions that bring glory to God in the big and small moments of our lives.

If we’re being honest, who among us hasn’t broken the commandment “Thou shalt not covet?” We see what others have, and we want it for ourselves. It may even be a good thing we are wanting - but one that God has granted to others and not to us.

Janet and Jocelyn explore the struggle common to us all and ways to fight against the envy that wages war within our hearts.
