“The ongoing daily pressure of being financially overextended by a consumptive lifestyle is a recipe for a host of stress-related physical maladies and has a detrimental effect on our spiritual formation as well as our interpersonal relationships…
With a stack of bills to pay each month, you may feel economically trapped in a dead-end job. Wherever you find yourself in your vocational journey, it is important to cultivate a deep sense of contentment. Scripture tells us that true contentment is not found in accumulation of financial wealth or a fulfilling career, but in a fulfilling and intimate relationship with Christ.” (cf. Phil. 4:11-13)
