Are you content with what you have? If not, you can, like the apostle Paul, learn to be content. Contentment is something we continually work on; it’s a journey more than a destination. In this episode, Gary and Christy talk about contentment, how it’s different than complacency, and how we have the choice of whether or not to be content. In any and every circumstance, whether we have a little or we have a lot, we can learn the secret of contentment.
