Moved in the Guts: Why Christianity Shou...

St. Anthony's Tongue
About this episode

In this episode, we look at Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, the Greek phrase splagchnistheis—to be moved in the guts—and the way Scripture repeatedly connects holiness with a heart that can still be affected by suffering.

Compassion is not the enemy of truth. The question is whether the mercy we receive from Christ actually makes us more merciful.
