About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of generosity towards the poor as a reflection of God's heart and Jesus' teachings.

Concern for the poor holds a prominent place in God’s heart, and this priority is reflected in Jesus’ teaching and in the practices of his earliest followers. For apprentices of Jesus, the goal isn’t just to share resources with those in need, but to create a new kind of family.
