Welcome to the Ignite Podcast. In today's episode Kaitlyn, Community Center Director, and Kennon, Community Center friend, discuss the topic of greed from a Biblical perspective. 

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, greed is: "A selfish & excessive desire for more of something than is needed."

Kaitlyn shares about a YouTube video made by Sam Pepper that demonstrated how those with little are actually more generous than those that have more. 

Kennon shares of his experience being homeless & how he's seen greed in others that are unwilling to extend a helping hand to him.

He shares, "I'm happier not having a lot of money. God gave me enough - He's more than enough."
