Episode Details

Refugees. Trafficking victims. Addicts. Adoption. Homeless. When faced with opportunities to show extravagant mercy, we think,

• But what if I go into debt? 
• This could be a trap. 
• If I bring her into my home, will we be safe? 
• What if there's corruption? 

Yet what sounds like the voice of wisdom, is actually the voice of fear.

I'm joined by Amy DiMarcangelo for a conversation about a man who wanted Jesus to give him a thin list of neighbors to love. But instead, Jesus invites the man—and us—into the story of "The Good Samaritan," where mercy is both risky and good.

Guest: Amy DiMarcangelo
