Episode 62: When is Enough Enough?
In the story of the widow’s mite, Jesus directs our attention to a woman who gives everything she has, assuring us that her small offering is more than enough. But how are we meant to think about our own offerings in the context of this story? How much do we owe? And how can we know when we have we given enough of our time, talents, energy, and resources to the Church? Cynthia and Susan discuss the story of this woman’s choice, and Jesus’ reaction to it, in a conversation about giving—and being—enough.
