Craving More: The Secret Life Of Envy 8/31/2025 Outreach 419

You Ever Catch Yourself Saying “I Wish I Had…”?

That feeling—of wanting more, of feeling like what you have isn’t enough—it’s sneaky. And according to Chaplain Heidi Woldhuis at Outreach 419, it’s also deadly to your joy, your relationships, and your walk with God.

In this message, Craving More: The Secret Life of Envy, Heidi peels back the layers on the 10th Commandment (“Do not covet”) and lays bare how comparison poisons our contentment—especially in recovery.

“If you're dissatisfied with your life, who you're truly dissatisfied with… is God.” “When we focus on what we don’t have, we miss what God is already doing.”

From grieving lost time and relationships to longing for normalcy, this message speaks straight to the struggle—and offers a new lens through gratitude and trust in God.
