Increasingly it feels like we are living in an either/or binary world on contentious issues and it is tearing us apart as we see people demean, dismiss and discount others who hold different views. We are not saying our listeners are guilty of such behavior (smile), but at the very least some of us are struggling with the snark monster that wants to take up residence in our own lives and homes.

Jesus tells a story and mentions a word we need to hear: humility. This episode offers a bit of analysis and a bit of advice. There is a bit of bible study that may unsettle you as it challenges your view of who you think God accepts. These are unsettling times. If you are struggling to navigate in this broken world and you are interested in quelling the snark monster within you, then this episode has something for you.
