Stories of Revolution Part 13: Plankeyes and Pigs

Plankeyes and Pigs: A Deep Dive into Matthew 7

In this episode of 'Roots and Relevance,' the hosts engage in a lively discussion about the meaning and implications of Matthew 7:1-6. They explore themes of judgment, hypocrisy, and discerning when to share wisdom. The conversation also covers contemporary church controversies, including the recent resignation of Josh Buice from G3 Ministries, and draws parallels to communal accountability in the Christian faith. The hosts emphasize the importance of humility, both in judging others and in receiving criticism, and reflect on how these teachings apply to both individual and communal contexts.
