2025 Episode 16, The Gospel according to Matthew 6-10

In this week’s episode, Simon highlights the relational nature of the Kingdom of God and its upside-down way of redefining who’s “in” and who’s “out.”

He explores how easily we can tie our identity and self-worth to performance, instead of rooting them in Jesus and who He says we are.

Simon also challenges us to examine where we might be placing our trust in the empire and its systems for security, rather than relying on God and His Kingdom.

Finally, he reminds us that Jesus sent out the disciples with a clear perspective on the world and their mission—and in the same way, He is sending us out today.

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