Listen "Actions Speak Louder than Words EP. 271"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we walk through Luke 7 and dive deep into one of the most striking contrasts in Scripture, the heart of Simon the Pharisee versus the heart of the sinful woman. I reflect on the radical difference between looking religious and truly being transformed by Christ. Simon had the appearance, the respectability, the protocol but he lacked the one thing God truly desires: a broken and contrite heart.Meanwhile, this woman, shunned, judged, and dismissed, humbled herself at Jesus’ feet. No rehearsed speech, no grand show, just raw, real repentance. Her actions spoke louder than any words could, and Jesus saw what Simon could not: a heart poured out in love and gratitude.We talk about what it means to truly welcome sinners, not just in word, but in heart posture. Are our churches rescue missions or museums of self-righteousness? Would a woman like this feel safe among us or judged from a distance? This episode challenges us to examine our own hearts, our assumptions, and the way we treat others in their most vulnerable moments.Because in the end, it’s not about perfect attendance or polished appearances it’s about who loves more, and why.
