Leviticus 25:1–7

About this episode
We live in an age of frantic, restless exhaustion. Our culture is addicted to the hum of the machine, the glow of the screen, and the relentless pursuit of more. We treat the world, and ourselves, as commodities to be exploited until they are spent. Our fields are strip-mined for maximum yield, our work weeks are stretched to the breaking point, and our souls are frayed. We believe in our own sovereignty, and the result is a world that is perpetually tired, anxious, and on the verge of collapse. We think we own the place, and so we are running it into the ground. Into this modern madness, the book of Leviticus speaks a word that is both profoundly ancient and startlingly relevant. For many, Leviticus is a dusty attic of strange laws about skin diseases and mysterious sacrifices.
