Episode Details

In this episode, Carl shares a striking teaching attributed to Jesus from the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas. The story describes a wealthy man carefully planning how to grow and store his wealth so he would never lack anything—only to die that same night. Carl reflects on how prophets, poets, and philosophers across centuries keep pointing to the same lesson: wealth can be useful, but it’s wise not to become too attached to it.
