Duty Before Dinner: Jesus, Habakkuk, and the Meaning of Unanswered Prayers
The apostles approach Jesus with a heartfelt plea: “Increase our faith!”—only to receive an enigmatic answer about uprooting a sycamore tree and planting it in the sea. In this episode, we’ll unearth the astonishing symbolism of the sycamore, wrestle with the original Greek, and peel back centuries of rabbinic wisdom to grasp just how radical Jesus’ words are. Along the way, we’ll tackle the age-old question: Is God not answering my prayer because I lack faith? Linking our Gospel reading with the cry of Habakkuk and the hope of the Psalms, we’ll dig deep to discover what true faith and servant-hearted discipleship really mean.
