From the widow’s mite to modern stories of generosity, discover how giving not only supports the mission of the church but also inspires hope and renewal in God’s creation.

Thursday Nov 07, 2024
Thursday Nov 07, 2024
In this episode, we explore the story of Zacchaeus from Luke 19:1-10, uncovering a powerful message about mislabeling and misjudging others. What if Zacchaeus wasn’t a notorious sinner transformed by Jesus, but a generous man wrongly perceived by his community? This fresh perspective challenges us to see beyond the labels we place on others—and ourselves. As we approach a divided time in our nation, discover how Jesus’ radical empathy offers a model for healing, understanding, and unity. Join us as we reflect on the power of calling people by name and praying for those we struggle to understand.
