What would you grab if you had sixty seconds to leave your home forever?

It's a question most of us have never had to answer. We did during the California Wildfires. And Lot's wife did too. And her answer — told not in words but in one devastating backward glance — cost her everything.

Lot's wife had a home. A life. Possessions. A community she had built in Sodom. And when God said go — she couldn't resist one last look at everything she was leaving behind.

And in that one moment of looking back, she was gone.

Now before we shake our heads at Lot's wife — Rhonda wants us to look in the mirror first.

Because if we're honest?

We do it too.

We look back at the comfort we've lost. The life we planned. Things we thought we deserved. Stuff we accumulated can quietly become more important than our obedience to God.

And Rhonda's phrase for this episode will stay with you long after it's over —

"People over possessions."

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• The sobering story of Lot's wife and the one backward glance that changed everything
• Why God's command to not look back was about so much more than direction — it was about the condition of her heart
• The powerful phrase Rhonda returns to again and again: "People over possessions"
• How our attachment to comfort, stuff, and security quietly competes with our obedience to God
• The liberating truth that when we choose people over possessions — we gain something no stuff could ever give us

• Genesis 19 — The story of Lot's wife
• Luke 17:32 — "Remember Lot's wife"
• Matthew 6:19-21 — "Store up treasures in heaven"

Write it on a sticky note. Let it be the filter through which you make decisions this week and always.
