Bountiful Season 5, Episode 11 for Monday, April 15, 2019
The American Dream is, in a nutshell, the belief that through hard work and determination, anyone can achieve a better life for themselves, regardless of their background or social class. It’s an idea that if you are diligent and use your abilities well, you be successful. In this episode, Gary & Christy talk about chasing the American Dream and present a few questions for Christians to consider about this topic, including:- Are we primarily chasing after the American dream or the Christian promise?
- If we’re financially successful, do we congratulate ourselves or give credit to God?
- If we’re motivated to chase the American Dream, is it because we rely on money more than we rely on God?
