Ten Minute Bible Talks
About this episode

There is one sin that offers no happiness, no pleasure, no instant gratification - envy. What are you envious of? Have you ever tried to fight it? In today's episode, Tanya shares how Psalm 73 gives us practical wisdom for how to trade the vice of envy for the virtue of gratitude.
