Almsgiving | S1E30

PART EIGHT: Soul Tending In this episode of St.Aub, we explore the ancient Christian practice of almsgiving. Throughout Scripture, caring for the poor isn't presented as an optional act of kindness, but as one of the essential habits of the Godward life. Jesus calls His followers not only to pray and fast, but also to open their hands (and their hearts) to those in need. Drawing from Scripture, the teachings of Jesus, the Didache, and the wisdom of the early Church, St.Aub reflects on why generosity has always been central to Christian discipleship. Almsgiving is more than financial giving. It is a habit that loosens our grip on possessions, redirects our attention away from ourselves, and teaches us to see every person as someone deeply loved by God. This episode invites you to consider how generosity changes not only the lives of those who receive it, but also the heart of the one who gives. In a culture that often measures success by what we accumulate, Christ invites us to measure our lives by how well we love. Almsgiving becomes an expression of gratitude, compassion, and trust that everything we have ultimately belongs to God.
