Summary

This video will premiere tomorrow, Saturday, April 13th at 10 am EST.

In this short reflection, I will explain the parable of Jesus that’s the most difficult to understand, the Parable of the Penitent Steward, or the Unjust Steward. Recently I teamed up with Jordan Peterson, Daily Wire, and the same panel of the Exodus series, this time to film a series on the Gospels. The discussions pushed me to finally understand the parable after many years of pondering.

what Christ is describing is the manner in which you change worlds. When a world is ending, the way to

move into a new world is to take the strength of the world that is ending and seed it into the next

0:15.1

world so that when this world ends, you find a place in the next world. You know, if you look at it morally, it's very

difficult, but if you look at it in terms of just it is how a world ends and how another

begins, you can understand how that's the type of shrewd behavior that you would want to do. This is Jonathan Peugeot.

Welcome to the symbolic world. There is one parable of Jesus, the one we call the unjust steward, which for many people and for myself, is a source of great pain because it is very difficult to understand.

We did a week-long 10-episode interpretation of the Gospels.

1:43.6

It was crazy. It was amazing. But again, we hit that parable,

maybe it's not enough but I'm hoping to take you through my insights about this

parable so that hopefully you can understand before we start it's important to say
