Christianity is often described as a religion of restraint and withdrawal—but Jesus tells a different story. In this episode, we explore how Jesus comes close, how the Good Samaritan takes faith outside the temple, and why real love always involves risk. From the apostle Paul’s willingness to count the cost, to a bottle of cold water handed out on a hot day, this reflection traces a generational chain of spendthrift love. Because Jesus didn’t save us from a distance—He came close.
