The term "Affluenza" in this video is defined as: American epidemic of shopping, overwork, debt and pursuit of money. Tony Campolo tells us about a cure that's actually documented in the Bible - "Sell all you have and give it to the poor." Campolo says we can and tells us how. He tackles forbidden subjects such as our money, our time, and our stuff. He is really telling us that we must simplify in order to live fully and that simplicity is a path to the abundant life Jesus said he came to bring.
