#082: Discipleship and Possessions
Jan 19, 2023

So therefore, none of you can become my disciple if you do not give up all your possessions.”  - Luke 14:33

How is one to interpret the meaning of such a claim and what implications does it have within a modern context, where possessions, whether necessary or superfluous, are a normal part of the economic schema enveloping those who live in the developed world? Join the whole group as Tyler presents some ideas from a paper (see the link below) he recently wrote.  It's a rich discussion despite being all about not being rich. 

You can read the paper here: Discipleship and Possessions

Also, if you haven't already, check out our earlier episode: #056: Happy Are You Poor, where we dive deeper into the Catholic Tradition of voluntary poverty.
