What happens when we trust in money? In Psalm 49, the psalmists lay out how wealth gives us a false sense of security because temporal solutions cannot solve eternal problems. In this episode, Emma Dotter recognizes the contrast between the shepherd of those who trust in wealth with those who trust in God and leaves us with an encouragement of how God rescued us from death and a challenge of how to combat the problem of placing our identity in things that do not last. 
 
 Additional Scripture mentioned in the episode:
 Matthew 6:19-24, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…”

 Colossians 1:13, "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son"
