🎙️ Wise Counsel Podcast – Episode 214Title: “Leaving Enough: The Gleaning Ethic for Today”Scripture Focus: Leviticus 19:9–10 (ESV)Podcast DescriptionIn this episode of Wise Counsel, Robert Smith explores Leviticus 19:9–10, where God commands farmers to leave the edges of their fields for the poor and the foreigner. What might seem like a quaint agricultural rule turns out to be a radical call to generosity and justice. Drawing on insights from Michael S. Heiser and Tremper Longman III, this episode shows how God structures social care into daily work and harvest. We’ll reflect on how this ancient “welfare system” can inspire modern practices, from food donation to ethical business giving.
