What happens when faith collapses after a relapse?
In Luke 21, Jesus watches a widow give her last two coins while a corrupt religious system stands in marble and gold behind her. Most sermons call this a beautiful act of generosity. Jesus saw something else entirely.
In this episode, Grant unpacks the overlooked historical and economic context of the widow’s mite, exposing how first-century religious systems extracted from the vulnerable while rewarding public performance. Through neuroscience, lived experience, and raw honesty about recent relapse, this episode reframes failure, shame, and spiritual “collapse.”
This is not a message about giving more. It is about what God does when you have nothing left to give.
If your faith feels buried under rubble, Luke 21 may be exactly where you need to be.
