2025 Episode 30, The Gospel according to Luke 17-21

In this episode, Simon takes a deep dive into two powerful stories, highlighting the contrast between two men who both longed to meet Jesus—but responded in very different ways.

First, Simon explores the story of the rich young ruler, who ultimately walked away, unwilling to enter the kingdom through the eye of the needle.

Then, he turns to the story of Zacchaeus, emphasizing his desperate faith, eagerness to see Jesus, and radical response to their encounter.

Finally, Simon invites each of us to step into the stories in this week's readings and ask, "Which one of these people is me?"

We hope you enjoy this episode and this week's readings.
