The 44
The 44 takes root through Matthew 4:4 - “Man cannot live on bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Each week we will feast on the words that come forth from the mouth of God by looking to the Bible.

Too Much of a Good Thing

This episode pushes back on the idea that “too much of a good thing is a good thing” by looking at the wisdom of Proverbs. While good things are gifts from God, Proverbs shows how excess can quietly turn those blessings into burdens that control us and rob us of joy. Through examples like honey, rest, money, and words, we explore how overindulgence dulls gratitude and distorts priorities. The call is not to avoid good things, but to practice self-control and learn what “enough” looks like. Real wisdom is found in enjoying God’s gifts without letting them replace God Himself.
