Episode Synopsis

What does Jesus actually mean when He says it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
In this episode, the Fathers Andy sit down with author Dan Hamlet, whose new book Through the Eye of the Needle tackles one of the most misunderstood teachings of Jesus head-on.
Together, they break open:


Whether wealth itself is sinful


How Christians should approach money, stewardship, and generosity


What the early Church believed about riches


The tension between comfort, sacrifice, and discipleship


Why modern culture gets this teaching so wrong


This is a deep, challenging, and surprisingly freeing conversation about the place of wealth in the Christian life, and what Jesus is truly inviting us into.
If you’ve ever wondered whether having money puts your salvation at risk… this episode is for you.
