Episode description
The parable of the Publican & Pharisee is appointed at a pivotal time in the Orthodox Church. By discussing the historical reputation of each of these characters and the parable itself, we highlight how Jesus' teaching prepares us for Great Lent. Furthermore, the parable teaches us about what God most desires, which is not that we are "moral" people, but that we are first and foremost humble, compassionate, and forgiving.
