In this episode of Finish the Race, we break down the powerful truths hidden in Luke 18:1-17—where Jesus delivers an uncompromising warning to the prayerless, the proud, and the self-righteous. From the persistent widow to the humble tax collector, these parables aren't feel-good stories—they're spiritual gut-checks for a nation that’s grown lukewarm and entitled.

You'll hear a God-fearing spirit of the widow who refused to give up, and why self-righteous religiosity is destroying our churches from within. Jesus didn’t commend the Pharisee’s loud prayers—He honored the quiet repentance of a broken sinner. 

This isn't just theology; it’s a call to action for every believer in the culture war of our time. We close with Jesus’ rebuke of those who would turn away children, reminding us that the kingdom belongs to the pure in heart, not the proud in intellect. In a world obsessed with power and position, this passage reminds us that only the humble will inherit the Kingdom. Tune in and be sharpened—because faith isn’t for the passive.
