About this episode
The episode discusses the dangers of autonomy as an idol and its implications on community, referencing Paul's letter to the Corinthians.
We live in a world where self-sufficiency and freedom to live as we please are sought-after commodities. Our drive for autonomy can become an unforeseen enemy and an idol. As we step back into Paul’s letter to the Corinthians in chapter 8, he reminds us that our actions speak loudly and can help or hinder those around us.
