Overview:
In Episode 23, Greg Carroll unpacks the warnings of Proverbs 23—how unchecked appetite, envy, and indulgence can quietly unravel your financial future and spiritual foundation. This episode is a sober reminder that your desires shape your destiny. If you don’t guard them, they’ll guide you. And not toward freedom.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why appetite is about more than food—it’s about unchecked emotional spending, luxury chasing, and impulse decisions

• How overworking to gain wealth leads to emptiness, not abundance

• Why comparison with worldly success leads to poor decisions and discontentment

• How repeated indulgence—whether alcohol, spending, or media—erodes discipline and margin

• Why guarding your inputs today protects your peace tomorrow

Take Action:

• Reflect: Where are you indulging too freely?

• Evaluate: Are your financial choices driven by appetite or wisdom?

• Guard: Set a boundary in one area of spending, consumption, or comparison this week

Pray:
“Lord, teach me to guard my desires, to walk with discipline, and to live for what truly lasts.”
