## Resource

You know this story. Man gets robbed and beaten, two religious leaders walk past him, a Samaritan stops to help. Be a helper, lesson over. Except that’s barely scratching the surface of what’s actually happening here. In this episode I’m digging into why the lawyer’s question was a loophole in disguise, what made the Samaritan such a shocking choice for the hero of this story, and why Yeshua refused to answer the question He was actually asked. This one will change how you read one of the most familiar parables in the whole Bible. If this episode opened something up for you, take fifteen seconds and leave a review on Apple Podcasts. It’s how other people find this show, and I read every single one. And if you found it helpful, share it with a friend who could use a fresh look at a story they thought they already knew.
