Why would Jesus praise a dishonest manager? In Luke 16:1–13, Jesus tells one of His most confusing parables. On the surface, it looks like a story about shady accounting. But beneath the surface, it is really about the soul, the ego, and the radical freedom of grace.Life often feels like a ledger we can never balance. The bills pile up, mistakes weigh heavy, and the debts—emotional, spiritual, even relational—seem too much to repay. Yet in this parable, Jesus shows us that the good news of the gospel is not about keeping perfect accounts. It is about grace that cancels the debt entirely.Through everyday stories, biblical reflection, and psychological insight, Pastor Shawn Garan invites us to discover what it means to stop keeping score and start living free. The books are closed. The debts are forgiven. Grace has balanced it all.📖 Scripture: Luke 16:1–13 (NRSV)
