Many young adults believe more money means more happiness, but Scripture shows true joy comes from gratitude and contentment. Rachel Cruze explains how comparison drains our joy and fuels unhealthy spending, keeping us stuck in a cycle that never satisfies. She reminds us that gratitude breaks the grip of comparison and leads to generosity. Her message is a timely call to pursue intentional, faith-filled stewardship—finding joy in what we have and using it to bless others. Resources:
