YouTube description

The story of Cain and Abel is the perfect cautionary tale for ambition, according to theologian Miroslav Volf, as it illustrates the difference between striving for excellence and striving for superiority. Volf explores how our constant comparison to others can lead to a sense of inadequacy and even destructive behavior. It's a powerful reminder that true ambition comes from within, not from the need to be better than someone else.
