What did Jesus really mean by "render unto Caesar"?

Matt Skinner and Cody Sanders dig into Matthew 22:15-22 for the 21st Sunday after Pentecost, October 18, 2026. They unpack the trap, the coin, and what Jesus means by giving back to God. Jesus refuses a false choice and asks whose image is on the coin. The hosts explore the coinage of God's kingdom: mercy, justice, and righteousness. They also turn to Isaiah 45 and Cyrus, God's anointed. Exodus 33 reveals a migrant God who journeys with the people. Psalm 96 calls all creation to worship. Finally, the hosts launch a five-week series in 1 Thessalonians and its rich vision of hope.
