Why is it so hard to be content with where we are and what we have? Christians should find our contentment in Christ, but how do we actually do that? Does being content mean you should never desire to do or have more? The Bible teaches us how to live lives of contentment and in this episode, we discuss what it looks like to live that out every day by answering all these questions and more. Come join us as we chat about the secret to contentment in every circumstance!
