This week on The Momologian, Rev. Alicia Velez Stewart takes on one of Jesus’ most puzzling parables — the story of the dishonest manager in Luke 16:1–13. Why would Jesus tell a story where a corrupt steward is praised for being “shrewd”? Who are we supposed to root for here? And what does it mean for us as people of faith today? The parable doesn’t give us easy answers, but it does point us toward God’s grace — grace that shows up in the gray areas, grace that can transform mixed motives into acts of compassion, grace that is always good, always just, always loving. In a time when life feels increasingly complicated and uncertain, this sermon reminds us that God’s grace is steady, and that even in the messiest places of our lives, redemption and transformation are possible.
