About this listen

We draw a clear line from the parable of the rich man and Lazarus to the quiet ways complacency blinds us to people at our gate. We challenge prosperity myths, name everyday Lazaruses, and lay out concrete steps to resist indifference with love.

• the inner struggle between generosity and complacency
• why Lazarus is named and the rich man is forgotten
• indifference as the real sin, not wealth
• how prosperity myths distort faith and ethics
• the slow drift into numbness and blindness
• identifying Lazarus in family, work, and community
• faith as daily conversion, not comfort
• salvation as communal: an economy of love
