For The Greater Good
IIn today's episode of Perilous World Radio, hosts Alan Masters and Brian Bouteller dove into the importance of Maundy Thursday, which happens the day before Good Friday. This day is meaningful because it commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus, where He encouraged His followers to love and serve one another. Alan admitted he was surprised by how little he knew about these traditions, which sparked a lively discussion between the hosts.
They also talked about the differences between two calendars: the Julian calendar and the Gregorian calendar. This year is notable because both Eastern Orthodox Christians and Western Christians will celebrate Easter on the same date, which is quite rare. As they talked about Holy Week, Alan shared his feelings of inner conflict related to the heavy history of these events. He is on a journey to find his life’s purpose and likened this struggle to letting go of pride and dishonesty that block his spiritual growth, recognizing his tendency to cling to negativity.
Alan also shared his thoughts on ambition and ego, pointing out that while they can drive creativity, they can also lead to problems if not kept in check. Brian chimed in, noting that strong emotions can have both positive and negative effects, making it essential to focus these feelings on a greater good.
