  I
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  to
• 0:38
  think
• 0:38
  about
• 0:38
  something
• 0:38
  today.
• 0:40
  Just
• 0:40
  picture
• 0:40
  this.
• 0:41
  The
• 0:42
  room
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  dark.
• 0:43
  The
• 0:44
  only
• 0:44
  light
• 0:44
  is
• 0:44
  your
• 0:45
  foe.
• 0:47
  You
• 0:47
  weren't
• 0:47
  looking
• 0:47
  for
• 0:47
  trouble.
• 0:48
  You're
• 0:49
  just
• 0:49
  trying
• 0:49
  to
• 0:49
  find
• 0:49
  a
• 0:50
  few
• 0:50
  minutes
• 0:50
  of
• 0:50
  relaxation.
• 0:52
  But
• 0:52
  scroll
• 0:53
  after
• 0:53
  scroll,
• 0:54
  something
• 0:54
  tightens
• 0:55
  in
• 0:55
  your
• 0:55
  chest.
• 0:57
  You
• 0:57
  see
• 0:57
  someone's
• 0:58
  remodel,
• 0:59
  you
• 0:59
  see
• 0:59
  someone's
• 1:00
  vacation,
• 1:01
  maybe
• 1:01
  someone's
• 1:02
  big
• 1:02
  announcement,
• 1:04
  and
• 1:04
  suddenly
• 1:06
  your
• 1:06
  life
• 1:06
  feels
• 1:07
  smaller.
• 1:09
  Let
• 1:09
  me
• 1:10
  ask
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  this.
• 1:10
  Do
• 1:10
  you
• 1:10
  find
• 1:10
  yourself
• 1:11
  always
• 1:11
  looking
• 1:11
  at
• 1:12
  others
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  measure
• 1:13
  your
• 1:13
  success?
• 1:15
  Comparison
• 1:16
  is
• 1:16
  expensive,
• 1:16
  isn't
• 1:17
  it?
• 1:18
  And
• 1:19
  it's
• 1:19
  expensive
• 1:19
  because
• 1:19
  it
• 1:20
  doesn't
• 1:20
  just
• 1:20
  steal
• 1:20
  your
• 1:21
  joy,
• 1:22
  it
• 1:22
  steals
• 1:23
  your
• 1:23
  paycheck.
• 1:25
  Just
• 1:25
  one
• 1:25
  scroll
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  suddenly
• 1:26
  your
• 1:27
  life
• 1:27
  feels
• 1:27
  small.
• 1:29
  Hey,
• 1:29
  your
• 1:29
  house
• 1:30
  feels
• 1:30
  outdated.
• 1:31
  That
• 1:31
  car
• 1:32
  of
• 1:32
  yours
• 1:32
  feels
• 1:33
  embarrassing.
• 1:33
  And
• 1:33
  those
• 1:34
  clues,
• 1:35
  they
• 1:35
  just
• 1:35
  feel
• 1:36
  like
• 1:36
  they're
• 1:36
  not
• 1:36
  enough.
• 1:38
  And
• 1:38
  you
• 1:38
  don't
• 1:39
  even
• 1:39
  want
• 1:39
  a
• 1:39
  thing.
• 1:41
  You
• 1:41
  want
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  feeling
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  think
• 1:42
  that
• 1:43
  thing
• 1:43
  is
• 1:43
  going
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  give
• 1:43
  you.
• 1:45
  If
• 1:45
  you've
• 1:46
  been
• 1:46
  spending
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  soothe
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  sinking
• 1:47
  feeling
• 1:48
  of
• 1:48
  I'm
• 1:48
  behind,
• 1:49
  today's
• 1:50
  for
• 1:50
  you.
• 2:12
  Hey,
• 2:13
  friend.
• 2:13
  Ralph
• 2:13
  Estep
• 2:14
  Jr.
• 2:14
  Here.
• 2:15
  This
• 2:15
  is
• 2:15
  Financially
• 2:16
  Confident
• 2:16
  Christian,
• 2:17
  where
• 2:18
  we're
• 2:18
  breaking
• 2:18
  that
• 2:18
  cycle
• 2:19
  of
• 2:19
  financial
• 2:20
  shame,
• 2:21
  and
• 2:21
  we're
• 2:21
  doing
• 2:21
  it
• 2:22
  with
• 2:22
  confidence.
• 2:23
  And
• 2:24
  today's
• 2:24
  topic
• 2:25
  is
• 2:25
  this.
• 2:25
  Why
• 2:25
  comparison
• 2:26
  makes
• 2:26
  you
• 2:27
  spend
• 2:27
  more.
• 2:28
  But
• 2:29
  bigger
• 2:29
  than
• 2:29
  that,
• 2:30
  how
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  break
• 2:31
  free
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  them.
• 2:32
  Let's
• 2:32
  get
• 2:32
  into
• 2:33
  today's
• 2:33
  listener
• 2:33
  question.
• 2:36
  Every
• 2:36
  time
• 2:36
  I
• 2:36
  see
• 2:36
  what
• 2:37
  my
• 2:37
  friends
• 2:37
  are
• 2:37
  doing
• 2:37
  online,
• 2:38
  I
• 2:39
  just
• 2:39
  spiral.
• 2:41
  I
• 2:41
  feel
• 2:41
  behind,
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  feel
• 2:43
  inadequate.
• 2:44
  I
• 2:44
  feel
• 2:44
  like
• 2:44
  I'm
• 2:45
  missing
• 2:45
  out.
• 2:46
  So
• 2:47
  I
• 2:47
  spend
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  catch
• 2:48
  up
• 2:48
  or
• 2:48
  spend
• 2:48
  to
• 2:49
  feel
• 2:49
  better.
• 2:50
  And
• 2:50
  then
• 2:50
  I'm
• 2:51
  broke.
• 2:51
  And
• 2:51
  guess
• 2:51
  what?
• 2:51
  I'm
• 2:52
  even
• 2:52
  more
• 2:52
  stressed.
• 2:54
  Can't
• 2:55
  keep
• 2:55
  doing
• 2:55
  this
• 2:55
  to
• 2:55
  myself.
• 2:57
  How
• 2:57
  do
• 2:57
  I
• 2:58
  stop
• 2:58
  comparing,
• 2:59
  actually
• 2:59
  be
• 2:59
  content
• 3:00
  with
• 3:00
  what
• 3:00
  I
• 3:00
  have
• 3:02
  instead
• 3:02
  of
• 3:02
  always
• 3:03
  chasing
• 3:03
  more?
• 3:04
  Let's
• 3:05
  talk
• 3:05
  about
• 3:05
  that
• 3:06
  today.
• 3:07
  That
• 3:07
  comparison.
• 3:09
  See,
• 3:09
  that
• 3:09
  comparison
• 3:10
  creates
• 3:10
  a
• 3:11
  false
• 3:11
  emergency
• 3:12
  in
• 3:12
  our
• 3:12
  minds,
• 3:13
  and
• 3:14
  I'm
• 3:14
  guilty
• 3:14
  of
• 3:14
  it,
• 3:14
  too.
• 3:16
  And
• 3:16
  when
• 3:16
  we
• 3:16
  feel
• 3:17
  that
• 3:17
  emergency,
• 3:18
  that
• 3:19
  spending
• 3:20
  feels
• 3:20
  like
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  rescue.
• 3:22
  It's,
• 3:23
  oh,
• 3:23
  this
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  our
• 3:23
  savior.
• 3:24
  This
• 3:24
  is
• 3:24
  what's
• 3:24
  going
• 3:24
  to
• 3:25
  work.
• 3:27
  But
• 3:27
  it's
• 3:27
  not
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  rescue,
• 3:28
  is
• 3:28
  it?
• 3:30
  So
• 3:31
  the
• 3:31
  question
• 3:31
  is
• 3:31
  really,
• 3:31
  how
• 3:32
  do
• 3:32
  we
• 3:32
  break
• 3:32
  free
• 3:32
  from
• 3:33
  this
• 3:33
  comparison
• 3:34
  cycle?
• 3:34
  And
• 3:34
  that's
• 3:34
  what
• 3:35
  we
• 3:35
  really
• 3:35
  have.
• 3:35
  It's
• 3:35
  a
• 3:36
  comparison
• 3:36
  cycle.
• 3:38
  Well,
• 3:38
  here's
• 3:38
  what
• 3:38
  I'm
• 3:38
  going
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  encourage
• 3:39
  you
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  do.
• 3:39
  Number
• 3:39
  one
• 3:40
  thing,
• 3:40
  you
• 3:40
  got
• 3:40
  to
• 3:41
  name
• 3:41
  what's
• 3:41
  really
• 3:42
  happening.
• 3:44
  This
• 3:44
  isn't
• 3:44
  bad
• 3:45
  budgeting.
• 3:47
  It's
• 3:47
  just
• 3:47
  not.
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  wish
• 3:48
  I
• 3:48
  could
• 3:48
  say,
• 3:48
  well,
• 3:48
  just
• 3:48
  go
• 3:48
  fix
• 3:49
  your
• 3:49
  budget
• 3:49
  and
• 3:49
  this
• 3:49
  will
• 3:50
  go
• 3:50
  away.
• 3:50
  But
• 3:50
  that's
• 3:50
  not
• 3:50
  the
• 3:51
  issue.
• 3:51
  This
• 3:51
  is
• 3:52
  emotional
• 3:52
  spending
• 3:53
  triggered
• 3:54
  by
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  message.
• 3:56
  And
• 3:56
  we
• 3:56
  see
• 3:56
  this
• 3:57
  message
• 3:57
  around
• 3:57
  us
• 3:57
  all
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  time.
• 3:58
  And
• 3:59
  that
• 3:59
  message
• 3:59
  is
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  lie.
• 4:00
  It
• 4:01
  says
• 4:01
  your
• 4:01
  life
• 4:02
  isn't
• 4:02
  enough.
• 4:06
  And,
• 4:06
  friend,
• 4:06
  that
• 4:06
  message
• 4:07
  is
• 4:07
  loud.
• 4:09
  So
• 4:09
  your
• 4:10
  first
• 4:10
  win
• 4:10
  is
• 4:11
  honesty.
• 4:14
  Think
• 4:14
  about
• 4:14
  these
• 4:14
  things.
• 4:15
  When
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  compare,
• 4:17
  I
• 4:18
  panic.
• 4:19
  And
• 4:19
  when
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  panic,
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  spend.
• 4:23
  And
• 4:23
  then
• 4:24
  when
• 4:24
  I
• 4:24
  spend,
• 4:25
  I
• 4:26
  regret.
• 4:28
  But
• 4:29
  recognize
• 4:29
  that
• 4:29
  pattern
• 4:30
  isn't
• 4:30
  a
• 4:30
  character
• 4:31
  flaw.
• 4:32
  It's
• 4:32
  actually
• 4:33
  a
• 4:33
  cycle
• 4:33
  that
• 4:34
  you
• 4:34
  can
• 4:34
  break.
• 4:36
  Well,
• 4:36
  how
• 4:36
  do
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  break
• 4:37
  it?
• 4:38
  Here's
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  thing
• 4:39
  you
• 4:39
  got
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  do.
• 4:39
  Stop
• 4:40
  calling
• 4:40
  it
• 4:40
  inspiration
• 4:41
  if
• 4:42
  it
• 4:42
  triggers
• 4:42
  insecurity.
• 4:45
  Some
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  things
• 4:46
  that
• 4:46
  we
• 4:46
  put
• 4:47
  ourselves
• 4:47
  into,
• 4:47
  some
• 4:48
  of
• 4:48
  the
• 4:48
  accounts
• 4:48
  do
• 4:49
  lift
• 4:49
  you
• 4:49
  up.
• 4:49
  Some
• 4:50
  of
• 4:50
  those
• 4:50
  things
• 4:50
  you
• 4:50
  look
• 4:50
  at
• 4:51
  on
• 4:51
  social
• 4:51
  media,
• 4:51
  they
• 4:52
  encourage
• 4:52
  you.
• 4:52
  Those
• 4:53
  are
• 4:53
  great
• 4:53
  things.
• 4:55
  Some
• 4:55
  accounts
• 4:55
  stir
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  up.
• 4:57
  But
• 4:58
  if
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  consistently
• 4:59
  leave
• 4:59
  an
• 4:59
  app
• 5:00
  feeling
• 5:00
  behind,
• 5:01
  feeling
• 5:02
  less
• 5:02
  than,
• 5:03
  feeling
• 5:03
  anxious,
• 5:04
  feeling
• 5:05
  restless,
• 5:07
  that's
• 5:07
  not
• 5:07
  inspiration.
• 5:09
  That's
• 5:09
  a
• 5:09
  trigger.
• 5:11
  And
• 5:12
  triggers
• 5:12
  require
• 5:12
  some
• 5:13
  boundaries.
• 5:15
  Sometimes
• 5:15
  you
• 5:15
  just
• 5:16
  kind
• 5:16
  of
• 5:16
  unfollow
• 5:16
  those
• 5:17
  things.
• 5:17
  Just
• 5:17
  they're
• 5:17
  not
• 5:18
  healthy.
• 5:18
  Get
• 5:19
  rid
• 5:19
  of
• 5:19
  them.
• 5:20
  Maybe
• 5:21
  you
• 5:21
  got
• 5:21
  to
• 5:21
  mute
• 5:21
  them
• 5:22
  for
• 5:22
  a
• 5:22
  while,
• 5:23
  or
• 5:24
  maybe
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  just
• 5:24
  got
• 5:25
  to
• 5:25
  limit
• 5:25
  them.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:27
  it's,
• 5:27
  don't
• 5:27
  listen,
• 5:28
  don't
• 5:28
  beat
• 5:28
  yourself
• 5:29
  up.
• 5:29
  It's
• 5:29
  not
• 5:29
  because
• 5:30
  you're
• 5:30
  weak.
• 5:32
  It's
• 5:32
  actually
• 5:32
  because
• 5:32
  you're
• 5:33
  wise.
• 5:35
  So
• 5:35
  here's
• 5:35
  one
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  wisest
• 5:36
  things
• 5:36
  you
• 5:36
  can
• 5:37
  do.
• 5:37
  I
• 5:37
  tell
• 5:38
  people
• 5:38
  all
• 5:38
  the
• 5:38
  time
• 5:38
  to
• 5:39
  do
• 5:39
  this.
• 5:39
  Build
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  scroll
• 5:40
  to
• 5:41
  spend
• 5:41
  speed
• 5:41
  bump.
• 5:42
  We've
• 5:42
  all
• 5:42
  been
• 5:43
  driving
• 5:43
  down
• 5:43
  the
• 5:43
  road
• 5:44
  in
• 5:44
  our
• 5:44
  car,
• 5:44
  and
• 5:45
  we
• 5:45
  see
• 5:45
  that
• 5:45
  speed
• 5:46
  bump
• 5:46
  coming
• 5:46
  up.
• 5:46
  What
• 5:46
  do
• 5:47
  we
• 5:47
  do?
• 5:47
  We
• 5:47
  slow
• 5:47
  down.
• 5:49
  Do
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  same
• 5:49
  thing
• 5:50
  with
• 5:50
  your
• 5:50
  spending.
• 5:51
  Because
• 5:51
  that
• 5:51
  comparison
• 5:52
  spending
• 5:53
  happens
• 5:53
  fast,
• 5:54
  doesn't
• 5:54
  it?
• 5:55
  You
• 5:55
  just
• 5:55
  scroll
• 5:56
  and
• 5:56
  you
• 5:56
  see
• 5:56
  something,
• 5:56
  oh,
• 5:57
  I
• 5:57
  gotta
• 5:57
  have
• 5:57
  this.
• 5:59
  So
• 5:59
  you
• 5:59
  need
• 5:59
  a
• 6:00
  pause
• 6:00
  button.
• 6:02
  Try
• 6:02
  this
• 6:02
  simple
• 6:03
  rule.
• 6:05
  Sometimes
• 6:05
  it's
• 6:05
  not
• 6:06
  easy
• 6:06
  to
• 6:06
  implement
• 6:06
  this,
• 6:06
  but
• 6:06
  I'm
• 6:07
  gonna
• 6:07
  tell
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  right
• 6:07
  now,
• 6:07
  if
• 6:07
  you
• 6:08
  do
• 6:08
  it,
• 6:08
  it
• 6:08
  will
• 6:08
  be
• 6:08
  impactful.
• 6:09
  Have
• 6:10
  this
• 6:10
  rule,
• 6:10
  no
• 6:10
  purchase
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  same
• 6:11
  day.
• 6:12
  You
• 6:12
  feel
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  urge.
• 6:14
  If
• 6:14
  you're
• 6:14
  scrolling,
• 6:15
  I've
• 6:16
  gotta
• 6:16
  get
• 6:16
  this
• 6:18
  pause,
• 6:19
  stop,
• 6:20
  red
• 6:20
  light.
• 6:21
  Make
• 6:22
  it
• 6:22
  24
• 6:22
  hours
• 6:24
  automatically.
• 6:24
  Listen,
• 6:25
  you
• 6:25
  can
• 6:25
  even
• 6:25
  set
• 6:25
  a
• 6:26
  timer.
• 6:26
  You
• 6:27
  can
• 6:27
  play
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  game
• 6:27
  with
• 6:27
  yourself
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  little
• 6:28
  bit.
• 6:28
  Set
• 6:28
  a
• 6:28
  timer
• 6:29
  24
• 6:29
  hours
• 6:29
  from
• 6:30
  now.
• 6:30
  Let's
• 6:30
  revisit
• 6:30
  that.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:31
  then
• 6:31
  24
• 6:32
  hours
• 6:32
  later,
• 6:32
  ask
• 6:33
  this
• 6:33
  question.
• 6:34
  Am
• 6:34
  I
• 6:35
  buying
• 6:35
  this
• 6:36
  because
• 6:36
  I
• 6:37
  want
• 6:37
  it
• 6:37
  or
• 6:37
  need
• 6:37
  it,
• 6:37
  or
• 6:38
  am
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  buying
• 6:38
  relief?
• 6:40
  Here's
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  thing
• 6:41
  that
• 6:41
  I
• 6:41
  found
• 6:42
  most
• 6:43
  impulse
• 6:43
  spending,
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  dies
• 6:45
  in
• 6:45
  the
• 6:46
  late.
• 6:46
  In
• 6:47
  24
• 6:47
  hours,
• 6:47
  you're
• 6:48
  like,
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  don't
• 6:48
  really
• 6:48
  need
• 6:49
  that.
• 6:51
  But
• 6:51
  once
• 6:51
  you
• 6:51
  get
• 6:51
  past
• 6:52
  that,
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  got
• 6:52
  to
• 6:52
  change
• 6:53
  your
• 6:53
  mindset.
• 6:54
  You
• 6:54
  got
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  replace
• 6:55
  more
• 6:55
  with
• 6:56
  meaning.
• 6:57
  Because
• 6:58
  here's
• 6:58
  the
• 6:58
  problem.
• 6:59
  Comparison
• 6:59
  says
• 7:00
  more
• 7:00
  stuff
• 7:00
  will
• 7:01
  fix
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  feeling.
• 7:03
  So
• 7:03
  many
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  Us
• 7:03
  have
• 7:03
  bought
• 7:04
  into
• 7:04
  that.
• 7:06
  But
• 7:06
  contentment
• 7:07
  says
• 7:07
  something
• 7:07
  different.
• 7:08
  It
• 7:08
  says,
• 7:08
  meaning
• 7:09
  will
• 7:09
  calm
• 7:09
  the
• 7:10
  heart.
• 7:12
  So
• 7:12
  build
• 7:12
  a
• 7:13
  new
• 7:13
  habit.
• 7:14
  Before
• 7:15
  you
• 7:15
  buy
• 7:15
  something
• 7:16
  to
• 7:16
  feel
• 7:16
  better,
• 7:17
  do
• 7:17
  one
• 7:18
  meaning
• 7:18
  move.
• 7:20
  You
• 7:20
  might
• 7:20
  be
• 7:20
  saying,
• 7:21
  Ralph,
• 7:21
  what's
• 7:21
  a
• 7:21
  meaning
• 7:22
  move?
• 7:22
  Well,
• 7:22
  think
• 7:22
  about
• 7:23
  this
• 7:23
  one.
• 7:23
  Thank
• 7:23
  God
• 7:24
  for
• 7:24
  three
• 7:24
  things
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  already
• 7:25
  have.
• 7:26
  You're
• 7:26
  getting
• 7:27
  ready
• 7:27
  to
• 7:27
  hit
• 7:27
  buy
• 7:27
  on
• 7:28
  that
• 7:28
  cart.
• 7:28
  Stop
• 7:28
  for
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  second
• 7:29
  and
• 7:30
  look
• 7:30
  around
• 7:30
  you.
• 7:31
  What's
• 7:31
  around
• 7:31
  me?
• 7:32
  God,
• 7:32
  I'm
• 7:32
  so
• 7:32
  thankful
• 7:33
  for
• 7:33
  what
• 7:33
  you've
• 7:33
  already
• 7:33
  given
• 7:34
  me.
• 7:35
  Maybe
• 7:35
  text
• 7:35
  somebody
• 7:36
  that
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  love.
• 7:36
  Hey,
• 7:37
  that's
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  gift
• 7:37
  from
• 7:38
  God
• 7:38
  right
• 7:38
  there.
• 7:40
  Maybe
• 7:40
  get
• 7:40
  up
• 7:40
  from
• 7:40
  what
• 7:41
  you're
• 7:41
  doing,
• 7:41
  take
• 7:41
  a
• 7:41
  walk
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  just
• 7:42
  pray
• 7:42
  out
• 7:43
  loud.
• 7:44
  Lord,
• 7:44
  thank
• 7:44
  you
• 7:45
  so
• 7:45
  much
• 7:45
  for
• 7:45
  what
• 7:45
  you've
• 7:45
  given
• 7:46
  me.
• 7:46
  Help
• 7:46
  me
• 7:46
  to
• 7:47
  find
• 7:47
  contentment.
• 7:48
  Maybe
• 7:48
  read
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  psalm
• 7:50
  or
• 7:50
  here's
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  great
• 7:50
  one,
• 7:52
  just
• 7:52
  take
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  $5
• 7:53
  bill
• 7:53
  out
• 7:53
  of
• 7:53
  your
• 7:53
  pocket
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  give
• 7:54
  it
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  somebody
• 7:54
  to
• 7:54
  bless
• 7:55
  somebody.
• 7:57
  Because
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  contentment
• 7:58
  grows
• 7:58
  when
• 7:59
  you
• 7:59
  practice
• 7:59
  that
• 8:00
  gratitude.
• 8:02
  And
• 8:02
  while
• 8:02
  you're
• 8:03
  there,
• 8:03
  anchor
• 8:04
  your
• 8:04
  identity
• 8:04
  where
• 8:05
  comparison
• 8:05
  can't
• 8:06
  touch
• 8:06
  it.
• 8:07
  Here's
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  honest
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  God
• 8:09
  truth.
• 8:10
  Social
• 8:10
  media
• 8:11
  ranks
• 8:11
  people.
• 8:13
  It
• 8:13
  just
• 8:13
  does.
• 8:14
  It
• 8:14
  gives
• 8:14
  you.
• 8:14
  It
• 8:15
  almost
• 8:15
  is
• 8:15
  like
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  modern
• 8:16
  day
• 8:16
  class
• 8:16
  system.
• 8:18
  But
• 8:18
  God
• 8:18
  doesn't
• 8:19
  do
• 8:19
  that.
• 8:20
  God
• 8:21
  doesn't
• 8:21
  look
• 8:21
  at
• 8:21
  your
• 8:21
  worth
• 8:22
  being
• 8:22
  what
• 8:22
  you
• 8:22
  have
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  your
• 8:23
  house.
• 8:24
  God
• 8:25
  doesn't
• 8:25
  look
• 8:25
  at
• 8:25
  your
• 8:25
  worth
• 8:26
  based
• 8:26
  on
• 8:26
  your
• 8:27
  vacation
• 8:27
  or
• 8:27
  that
• 8:28
  new
• 8:28
  shiny
• 8:28
  outfit
• 8:29
  you
• 8:29
  got
• 8:29
  and
• 8:30
  certainly
• 8:30
  not
• 8:30
  your
• 8:30
  highlight
• 8:31
  reel.
• 8:31
  On
• 8:31
  social
• 8:32
  media,
• 8:34
  you're
• 8:34
  not
• 8:34
  behind
• 8:35
  in
• 8:35
  life
• 8:35
  no
• 8:35
  matter
• 8:36
  what
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  might
• 8:36
  think
• 8:37
  or
• 8:37
  what.
• 8:37
  No
• 8:37
  matter
• 8:37
  what
• 8:37
  you
• 8:38
  see
• 8:38
  other
• 8:38
  people
• 8:39
  doing.
• 8:39
  You're
• 8:39
  held
• 8:40
  by
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  precious
• 8:40
  gloss
• 8:41
  of
• 8:41
  Christ.
• 8:43
  And
• 8:43
  when
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  live
• 8:44
  from
• 8:44
  that,
• 8:45
  you
• 8:46
  stop
• 8:46
  spending
• 8:47
  to
• 8:47
  prove
• 8:47
  you're
• 8:47
  enough.
• 8:47
  Because
• 8:48
  guess
• 8:48
  what,
• 8:48
  you
• 8:48
  already
• 8:49
  are
• 8:49
  enough.
• 8:51
  You
• 8:51
  don't
• 8:52
  need
• 8:52
  more
• 8:52
  stuff.
• 8:54
  You
• 8:54
  need
• 8:54
  peace
• 8:55
  in
• 8:55
  your
• 8:55
  life.
• 8:57
  So
• 8:57
  here's
• 8:57
  today's
• 8:58
  win.
• 8:58
  Just
• 8:58
  a
• 8:58
  single
• 8:59
  step
• 8:59
  takeaway
• 8:59
  for
• 8:59
  today.
• 9:00
  Today
• 9:00
  I
• 9:00
  want
• 9:00
  you
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  pick
• 9:01
  one
• 9:01
  account
• 9:02
  on
• 9:02
  your
• 9:02
  phone
• 9:03
  or
• 9:03
  online
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  consistently
• 9:05
  makes
• 9:05
  you
• 9:05
  feel
• 9:05
  inadequate.
• 9:07
  Take
• 9:07
  a
• 9:07
  few
• 9:07
  minutes
• 9:08
  and
• 9:08
  just
• 9:08
  think
• 9:08
  about.
• 9:08
  You
• 9:09
  know
• 9:09
  what,
• 9:09
  you're
• 9:09
  right,
• 9:09
  Ralph.
• 9:10
  Every
• 9:10
  time
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  look
• 9:10
  at
• 9:10
  this,
• 9:10
  and
• 9:11
  I'm
• 9:11
  not
• 9:11
  going
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  name
• 9:11
  any
• 9:11
  because
• 9:12
  I'm
• 9:12
  not
• 9:12
  picking
• 9:12
  on
• 9:12
  anybody,
• 9:13
  but
• 9:14
  just
• 9:14
  figure
• 9:14
  out
• 9:14
  that
• 9:15
  one
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  makes
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  feel
• 9:16
  small
• 9:17
  and
• 9:17
  just
• 9:17
  hit
• 9:17
  that
• 9:18
  mute
• 9:18
  button
• 9:18
  for
• 9:18
  30
• 9:19
  days,
• 9:20
  I
• 9:21
  got
• 9:21
  a
• 9:21
  feeling
• 9:21
  you're
• 9:21
  not
• 9:21
  going
• 9:21
  to
• 9:22
  miss
• 9:22
  it.
• 9:23
  And
• 9:23
  then
• 9:23
  every
• 9:24
  time
• 9:24
  you
• 9:24
  feel
• 9:24
  that
• 9:24
  catch
• 9:25
  up
• 9:25
  itch,
• 9:27
  say
• 9:27
  this
• 9:27
  out
• 9:27
  loud
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  yourself.
• 9:29
  Just
• 9:29
  say
• 9:29
  this.
• 9:30
  I
• 9:30
  don't
• 9:30
  buy
• 9:30
  peace.
• 9:33
  I
• 9:33
  receive
• 9:33
  it
• 9:33
  from
• 9:33
  God.
• 9:35
  Which
• 9:35
  leads
• 9:36
  us
• 9:36
  to
• 9:36
  today's
• 9:36
  Bible
• 9:36
  verse
• 9:37
  comes
• 9:37
  to
• 9:37
  us
• 9:37
  from

  the

  book

  of

  Hebrews,

  chapter

• 9:42
  Keep

  From

  the
• 9:43
  love
• 9:44
  of
• 9:44
  money
• 9:45
  and
• 9:45
  be
• 9:45
  content
• 9:45
  with
• 9:46
  what
• 9:46
  you
• 9:46
  have

  because

  God
• 9:48
  has

  said,
• 9:50
  never

  will
• 9:50
  I

  you,

• 9:56
  See,
• 9:56
  the
• 9:57
  deepest
• 9:57
  reason
• 9:57
  you
• 9:58
  can't

  isn't
• 9:59
  what
• 10:00
  you
• 10:00
  own.
• 10:02
  It's
• 10:02
  who
• 10:02
  stays
• 10:03
  with
• 10:03
  you.
• 10:04
  How
• 10:04
  about
• 10:05
  we
• 10:05
  pray
• 10:05
  together,
• 10:06
  Father
• 10:07
  God,
• 10:08
  you
• 10:08
  see
• 10:08
  how
• 10:09
  comparison
• 10:09
  hits
• 10:10
  us.
• 10:11
  You
• 10:11
  see
• 10:11
  the
• 10:11
  moment
• 10:12
  that
• 10:12
  spiral
• 10:13
  starts,
• 10:13
  that
• 10:13
  ache
• 10:14
  and
• 10:14
  that
• 10:14
  insecurity
• 10:15
  and
• 10:15
  that
• 10:16
  restlessness
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  we
• 10:17
  all
• 10:17
  feel.
• 10:18
  So,
• 10:19
  Lord,
• 10:19
  I
• 10:19
  just
• 10:19
  pray
• 10:20
  right
• 10:20
  now
• 10:20
  that
• 10:20
  you
• 10:20
  would
• 10:20
  break
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  power
• 10:21
  of
• 10:21
  that
• 10:22
  lie.
• 10:23
  Break
• 10:24
  the
• 10:24
  power
• 10:24
  of
• 10:24
  that
• 10:24
  lie
• 10:25
  that
• 10:25
  we're
• 10:25
  behind
• 10:27
  that
• 10:27
  word
• 10:27
  less
• 10:27
  than
• 10:28
  and
• 10:28
  that
• 10:28
  word
• 10:28
  missing
• 10:29
  out,
• 10:29
  Lord,
• 10:30
  and
• 10:31
  teach
• 10:31
  my
• 10:31
  friend
• 10:32
  listening
• 10:32
  right
• 10:32
  now,
• 10:32
  contentment.
• 10:34
  And
• 10:34
  it's
• 10:35
  not
• 10:35
  about
• 10:35
  denial,
• 10:36
  but
• 10:36
  Lord,
• 10:36
  as
• 10:36
  freedom.
• 10:38
  Help
• 10:38
  them
• 10:39
  set
• 10:39
  those
• 10:39
  boundaries.
• 10:40
  What
• 10:40
  feeds
• 10:41
  envy.
• 10:42
  Give
• 10:42
  them
• 10:43
  strength
• 10:43
  to
• 10:43
  pause
• 10:43
  before
• 10:44
  spending,
• 10:44
  Lord,
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  fill
• 10:45
  their
• 10:46
  hearts
• 10:46
  with
• 10:46
  gratitude
• 10:47
  and
• 10:47
  peace.
• 10:48
  We
• 10:49
  just
• 10:49
  thank
• 10:49
  you
• 10:49
  for
• 10:49
  what
• 10:50
  you've
• 10:50
  promised
• 10:50
  us,
• 10:50
  Lord,
• 10:51
  because
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  said
• 10:52
  in
• 10:52
  your
• 10:52
  own
• 10:52
  word
• 10:53
  you
• 10:53
  will
• 10:53
  never
• 10:53
  leave
• 10:53
  us
• 10:54
  or
• 10:54
  forsake
• 10:55
  us.
• 10:56
  And
• 10:56
  we
• 10:57
  ask
• 10:57
  this
• 10:57
  in
• 10:57
  Jesus
• 10:58
  name.
• 10:59
  Amen,
• 11:01
  friend.
• 11:02
  Contentment
• 11:02
  isn't
• 11:03
  settling.
• 11:05
  It's
• 11:05
  resting

  in

  God's
• 11:06
  care.
• 11:06
