Who Are the Least of These?
Episode notes
🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:
Tyler, Amy, and Barry dive into Matthew 25's sheep and goats parable, exploring what it really looks like to see and serve the marginalized. We wrestle with compassion fatigue, privilege, and the uncomfortable truth about sins of omission—being judged not just for what we do, but for what we fail to do. Barry shares his powerful story of experiencing homelessness in New York City for four days and what it taught him about human dignity. Plus, hear about basketball dad confessions, D&D adventures, and practical ways to show kindness in everyday moments.
Don't forget to subscribe as we head toward Easter and continue exploring Jesus' radical call to love!
