Less than enough, enough, or more than enough? How you answer says a lot about who taught you to think.\nMy co-host Nick Surface and I pick up from Episode 8. First, why it's so hard to see past your own perspective: a brain that reinforces what you already believe and a feed built to keep you scrolling. Then we define prosperity the way Scripture does, word by word.\nWhy is it so hard to see past your own perspective?\nYour brain isn't wired to find truth. It's wired to reinforce what you already believe. The algorithm just serves you what you want, so search out the opinions you disagree with and try to understand their logic.\nDoes God want you to have just enough?\nProverbs 30 asks for neither too much nor too little. Our question back: who are you worried about there? Jesus said traditions can cancel out the word of God (Mark 7:13).\nWhat does prosperity mean in the Old Testament?\nחַיִל (chayil) is the ability to take dominion: the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18). צָלַח (tsalach) means to thrive because of God's favor. The simple definition: winning in life, and helping other people win. The inheritance in Proverbs 13:22 is the ability to take dominion, and you can only teach what you've done.\nWhat does the New Testament say?\nPaul's word for sufficiency in 2 Corinthians 9:8 is αὐτάρκεια (autárkeia): having enough of everything and not requiring support. \"You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way\" (2 Corinthians 9:11). Prosperity means your needs are met and you have enough left over to meet other people's needs.\nScriptures\nActs 17:11 · Proverbs 30:8-9 · Mark 7:13 · Luke 18:1-8 · Psalm 37:4 · Genesis 1:28 · Deuteronomy 8:18 · Proverbs 10:22 · Proverbs 13:22 · 2 Corinthians 9:8-11 · Proverbs 11:24\nWords and ideas\nSocrates: define your terms first\nEisegesis vs. exegesis\nNapoleon Hill and the law of attraction\nChapters\n0:00 Cold open and show intro\n0:53 Nobody has all the knowledge\n2:15...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/7YsfA4gq5VzjhvmKvDET1pQqT0OM6yxv1laklKclR7g/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83ZWZh/MTRmZDEzOWRjZGQz/Y2M2NThkNzYwOTJj/ODA4MC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
