E369 - The Pharisee

from Sandy Creek Stirrings · host Joshua Gimenez

He stood in the temple, prayed the right words, and looked every bit the part—but heaven wasn’t listening.In this opening episode, we step into Luke 18:9–14 and uncover the true identity of the Pharisee—not just as a religious group from 2,000 years ago, but as a mindset that still walks among us today. His language sounds spiritual. His life appears clean. His confidence seems justified. But beneath it all lies something deeply dangerous.What are the "earmarks" of a Pharisee? How does he think? How does he view others—and himself? And more importantly… could he be sitting in our churches today?Before we can confront the Pharisee of today, we must learn to recognize him historically. And that is what this episode is all about!P.S. Make sure to stay tuned for next week's (4/10) episode on what a Pharisee looks & sounds like today...
