Podcast 257 -- Who Do You Trust? Luke 16:1-15

Is shrewdness purely a worldly value, or does it have a proper place among believers? This just one question that comes up when we consider the puzzling message of the Parable of the Shrewd Manager. We hash out who this parable was directed at, why the behaviors of the characters seem so unchristian, if the manager is rewarded or condemned in the end, and if the master represents God or not. Finally, we play "Gadfly in the Congregation," exploring scenarios that call for a balance between gullibility and shrewdness.
