Episode Details

Jesus’ famous line about Caesar lands as a question of identity, not a lesson about taxes. We trace the image on the coin back to the image on the human soul and ask what it means to give God what already belongs to him. 
• the trap set for Jesus and why he refuses it 
• the coin’s image as the key to ownership 
• the image and likeness of God as our true identity 
• the deeper question of allegiance and what we owe God 
• Peter’s warning that everything temporary passes away 
• growing in grace and in knowledge so faith can answer hard questions 
• competing claims from politics, culture, social media and the marketplace 
• an examination of conscience about whose image our lives reflect 
• the final accounting focused on the heart, not accumulation
