Jealousy

In this powerful episode of PTSD of the Christian Life, Pastor Brent Snook tackles one of the most subtle yet destructive sins in the Christian life — jealousy. Drawing from Proverbs 14:30, he reveals how envy works its way inward, rotting the bones and poisoning every relationship it touches.

Pastor Brent identifies four traps that make us vulnerable: the trap of Prosperity — coveting what others have; the trap of Power — resenting those in authority; the trap of Performance — brooding over another's success; and the trap of People — where jealousy slithers right through the front door of our own homes.

He then exposes the truth about jealousy — that it ultimately destroys not just its victims, but the one who carries it. From Cain to King Saul to Daniel's accusers, the pattern is unmistakable.

But there is hope. Pastor Brent closes with four practical steps to triumph over jealousy: Pronounce it as sin, Pray for those you envy, Praise God for your own blessings, and Pursue love — because as Scripture reminds us, love does not envy.
