In this episode of Chris Explores the Gospels, we enter the moment when Jesus calls Matthew — a tax collector, an outsider, a man living in the tension between who he was and who he could become. Through historical context, cultural insight, and sensory storytelling, we discover why Jesus calls people in the middle of their lives, not after they’ve cleaned them up. With a personal reflection on childhood compassion and the welcome Chris experienced when returning to the Church, this episode invites listeners to embrace the God who makes room for us — and teaches us to make room for others.
