476 Eternal Investments: What Are You Really Building? (Lk 16)

Monday, March 31: On today’s episode of The Daily Grind, we dive into one of Jesus’ most piercing teachings in Luke 16—a chapter all about eternal economics. Host John explores the strange story of the shrewd manager, a man praised not for his morals but for his strategy. Why would Jesus commend someone so seemingly corrupt? Because the man knew his time was short and acted decisively to prepare for what came next. Jesus is asking us: Are we doing the same with what we’ve been given—especially our money? John unpacks how our use of wealth reveals the kingdom we’re actually building and shows us that generosity, not accumulation, is the path to lasting impact. The episode also takes us through the sobering story of the rich man and Lazarus—a vivid reminder that God sees what the world often ignores, and that eternity is real. In a culture obsessed with success, Jesus flips the script: what’s impressive to people may be repulsive to God. Tune in for a convicting and hope-filled reminder that the only investments worth making are the ones that echo into eternity.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
