Being Right, Doing Wrong

Sometimes, being right can lead us to do terrible wrongs. In this episode of One More Thing, we take a deeper dive into the often-overlooked lostness of the older brother in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son. While the Pharisees were right about sin and consequences, their righteousness often lacked grace—and Jesus came to show that grace is just as essential as truth.

How do we balance justice and mercy in our own lives? What happens when our certainty blinds us to compassion? We explore how rigid rightness can turn into harsh judgmentalism and how a faithful life must also be a gracious one.

Join us as we reflect on the dangers of self-righteousness, the necessity of grace, and the challenge Jesus sets before us—to love and forgive, even when we feel justified in withholding mercy. Because, in the end, we are all in need of the same forgiveness we struggle to extend to others.
