It turns out that Envy is not just a cute phrase used in commercials, it is one of the deepest rooted sins in the human heart. It is more than coincidence that the very first sin recorded in the bible after the fall of Adam and Eve is the birth of Envy captured in the story of Cain and Abel. Join us for this tough but crucial topic. We start first with the classic movie Amadeus, then turn to scripture and some key insights for how to deal with the way Envy makes us absolutely miserable.
