Preaching Matthew 23:1-12 this Sunday? Karoline Lewis, Cody Sanders, and Matt Skinner dig into one of the hardest chapters in the New Testament.

They show how to handle Jesus’ sharp words about the scribes and Pharisees with care. They also name the self-aggrandizing religiosity that still shows up in our own churches. Cody imagines a community where the greatest among you will be your servant. The hosts also explore Micah 3:5-12, Joshua 3:7-17, Psalm 43, and 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13. This episode covers November 1, 2026, the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost.
