About this episode

The episode discusses how to respond to wrongdoing and the importance of not letting evil overcome you.

When evil comes, should I respond with "an eye for an eye?" Perhaps the justice system has a societal job, and I have a personal job. Perhaps I should give this some thought. If an "eye for an eye" is given personally, doesn't this leave everybody blind metaphorically? Do not let evil overcome you by you becoming evil. When you encounter evil against you: throw goodness at it Leave room for wrath. Not yours, but God’s. Trust Him that He’s got this. https://youtu.be/Pr7Mxc_-SRw
