Parables Week 7: You Are All Rich Fools

St. Mary Magdalene Orthodox Church Bible Study by Fr Stephen Osburn

Episode notes

In this Bible study, Fr. Stephen Osburn explores The Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13–21) and the call to live with holy urgency. Comfort is the enemy of mission, and complacency is the quiet death of the soul.

Drawing from the life of Fr. Anthony Karbo of blessed memory, Fr. Stephen reminds listeners that the Christian life does not retire. The Church must never say, “We have done enough.” Our barns may be full, but our souls are still required of us.

We are called to live the Gospel with urgency, to bring others to Christ, and to remember that the measure of our faith is not comfort but conversion. Every day is a chance to build the Kingdom. Every soul is a field still waiting to be sown.
