About this episode

This episode discusses the true meaning of piety and its importance in living as a child of God.

The word piety has a negative connotation for many people today. The word is associated with people who are only outwardly righteous, overly-religious or even pharisaical. That’s a shame, because piety is really about living as a child of God, and children are normally guileless.
