This episode examines a censored detail in Luke’s story of Lazarus and the rich man — the original Greek term kolpon, often translated as "bosom," which evokes male intimacy, nurture, and vulnerability — and explores how gender norms, translation choices, and cultural expectations shape who we are allowed to be.
The conversation expands into personal stories and audience reflections about gender as a social construct, how binaries limit everyone (including men), and how younger generations practice a more inclusive "and" thinking. The episode closes with a benediction inviting listeners toward love, justice, and humility.
