Episode 12 - Backwards Kingdom

In this weeks afterthought, Greg and Sam discuss Matthew 18:1-9, where Jesus used a child as an example to teach the disciples about true greatness in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus emphasized humility and warned against causing others to stumble, using strong language about the consequences of sin. Greg contrasts worldly success, characterized by achievement and self-promotion, with the kingdom's values of humility and service. He shares personal reflections on the challenges of maintaining humility as a pastor and the importance of focusing on Jesus rather than worldly metrics. The conversation also touches on the seriousness of sin and the reality of hell, encouraging believers to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus and to live out their faith authentically.
