Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis special episode takes another break from Matthew to explore passages from Luke. Drawing inspiration from Ched Myers, I present a sermon that I recently delivered, focusing on two parables unique to Luke: The Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man (Luke 16:19-31) and The Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8). To conclude, I share a story illustrating how the second parable came to life in my own town.The story of how the parable came to life comes from the housing justice work of Making Housing and Community Happen.
