Gluttony: Luke 15:11-24
About this episode
This episode discusses gluttony as an abuse of abundance through the lens of the prodigal son's story in Luke 15:11-24.

And if there is one story in the Bible about such abuse, it shows up in the story of the prodigal son. The younger son in Luke 15 asked for an early inheritance from the father and gorged himself over and over until he had spent every last dollar. When the food ran out, he found himself desiring food from the pig trough. Gluttony is a sin with a bottomless pit. At some point in the overeating and excessive drinking, you lose the joy of why you eat and drink in the first place. Gluttony Dr. Eric J.
