Tom & Joe discuss 'Matthew 25' and the 3 evolving parables covering the required preparation of a Christian. In the first parable, we talk about readiness and compare this to the faith but also everyday life. In the second parable, once ready, we talk about what to do with talents that are given to you. Should you hide them? Multiply them? Share them? What is the best way to optimize spiritual profit? Finally, in the third parable, we amalgamate all pre-discussed points with, once again; love. After everything is over in your life, when you are ready to be judged, have you done enough for your fellow brothers & sisters of this world? Or have you neglected them for your own purpose?

Tom & Joe discuss 'Matthew 23' and the many woes that are given to the Pharisees and scribes for their hypocritical actions which are cloaked by fancy words. What is the difference between 'father' & 'Father'? Do you practice what you preach? Lead by example? These are all things you must ask yourself whether as a Christian or not. And when in a position of authority, you have tremendous amounts of influence over the people you mentor and thus with great power comes even greater responsibility.Love is shared.

Tom & Joe discuss 'Matthew 22' and truth about the resurrection and life after death. Ultimately, it is true we do not know what will happen, however it is speculated that when we die, we (hopefully) enter the kingdom of heaven and live a sort of communal life with the past saints and angels. We also have to understand that even though this sounds wonderful 'not all who are invited, are also chosen'. Which means that even though you may talk the talk, it does not mean you also walk the walk, and that even if you do, you might be spending more time then you think during the final trial which is the fire that is purgatory. All that being said, be true and live a good Christian life. In other words: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself'.Please be sure to like this episode and follow our Podcast if you enjoyed.

Tom & Joe discuss 'Matthew 20' and the parable of the workers in the vineyard. In this parable, there is a great lesson about envy in which we must all take a step back in order to appreciate a bigger picture. Envy creeps up on us all and what this parable teaches us is that we must instead have a generous heart and a community mindset. This further leads to an understanding of proper leadership where a discussion is made about one's place in the kingdom of heaven, and the actions we must take in order to attain entrance to such a kingdom. Not by words, but by actions.Facta Non Verba.Please be sure to like this episode and follow our Podcast if you enjoyed. It would mean the world to us.
