Jesus Alone: How Do We Treat Others?
Episode 640
Sunday, 8 November, 2026
Welcome to Simple Joe. I’m glad you’re here. In today's Faith Connections episode of Simple Joe, I'm kicking off a three-part series called Jesus Alone, and I want to try something a little different. I'm a Christian, and I believe Jesus is much more than a great teacher or philosopher. But what if, just for these conversations, we set aside the miracles, the resurrection, and the theological questions and simply look at what Jesus actually taught about living a good life? Whether you're a Christian, an atheist, or a skeptic, I think there's something worth exploring here. In Part One, we're talking about how we treat other people. We'll look at Jesus' teachings about loving your neighbor, treating others the way you want to be treated, loving your enemies, and showing real mercy through the story of the Good Samaritan. We'll also talk about reciprocity, resentment, boundaries, and why we shouldn't let somebody else's bad behavior determine the kind of person we become. Is it possible to live with less scorekeeping, more generosity, and more compassion without becoming naive or letting people walk all over us? I think Jesus has some remarkable things to say about that. And maybe the question isn't just whether Jesus was a great teacher, but whether we're willing to actually listen to what He taught. I'd especially love to hear from you if you're not a Christian. Does this philosophy of life make sense to you? Text me at 513-399-6468 or email joe@thesimplejoe.com. Let's have a conversation.
