Скачать или смотреть Christian Conversations in the Car: Recognising the Spirit of Envy | Mr. & Mrs. Wong

In this car-chat, Jermaine and I unpack envy and jealousy—how they creep in (especially on social media), how to recognise them as spirits (not identity), and how to respond in love, prayer, and maturity. We also share a personal story about “unfair” recognition and how God used it to check our motives and grow us.

This video is part of our Faith for the Family playlist and uses YouTube’s Collab feature so you’ll see it on both of our channels.
