In this episode of Formed for Faithfulness, Case Thorp reflects on Paul’s call to contentment from 1 Timothy 6: “godliness with contentment is great gain.” In a world shaped by consumerism and the endless pursuit of more, how do we resist the rat race and fight the good fight of faith?
Through Scripture readings from 1 Timothy 6, Amos 6, and Luke 16:19-31, and a heartfelt prayer by Pastor Scotty Smith, we are reminded that the love of money leads to ruin, but trusting God brings true life. Case challenges us to recognize the subtle influence of advertising, embrace gratitude, and live generously as Christ calls us.
If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, discontent, or the pull of consumer culture, this devotional offers encouragement to anchor your hope in God alone.
