Does your family have a case of “affluenza?” Does it seem like you have to have the newest, latest, and greatest of everything?

My Texas friend Trey Gibson and I host this weekly podcast dedicated to family and parenting topics. Check out the show at The Real Family Guys Podcast Episode 11. You’ll find a new episode of us there every Friday.

Today’s topics include:

A deep and philosophical discussion on materialism and consumerism. Trey and I discuss:

  • How I personally struggle with this
  • How society helps feed this
  • What do we do as parents to teach this behavior to our kids
  • The inherent problems with having more
  • Defining wants versus needs
  • Tips on managing the struggle and being content
  • What the Bible says about contentment
