In today's episode, we explore the Parable of the Talents from Matthew 25:14-30 and what it teaches us about faith and action. While many people associate this passage with money, its deeper meaning is about how we receive and respond to God's gift of faith. Jesus warns against inaction and calls us to be good stewards—not just of financial resources, but of the spiritual and material gifts we've been given. We'll discuss how this applies to both our faith and finances, the dangers of fear-driven stagnation, and the importance of taking action with what God has entrusted to us.

Fr. Mike explains sins of omission, and how these are some of the biggest deciding factors of who goes to heaven and who goes to hell: whether or not we did good works God called us to. He also reminds us that not all of the New Testament parables are universally relevant, recalling the parable of the talents and the parable of the wise and foolish maidens. Today's readings are Matthew 25-26 and Proverbs 19:21-24. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
