The Least of These

 

In this episode of the Everyday Grit Podcast, host Nathan Hicks shares a personal story about buying a new mountain bike to connect with his son, only to face a unique challenge in obtaining it. The experience underscores the importance of human connection and helping others. Nathan further explores the concept of 'the least of these' through another story where he helps a man in need at a grocery store. He encourages listeners to reassess how they perceive and act on the needs of those around them, advocating for a more generous and swift response to helping others. The episode emphasizes developing the skills to recognize needs, simplifying the assessment process, and rewiring our default to action over hesitation, ultimately aiming to foster a deeper human connection.
