Ezekiel 18:1–4, 25–32
David Cassady
Nikki Hardeman

We discuss Ezekiel 18’s challenge to stop blaming others and accept accountability for our own actions while recognizing we still must repair harm we inherit. Using stories and examples, the podcast team contrasts paralyzing guilt with denial, hearing God’s words less as condemnation than invitation: turn, do what is lawful and right, and live. The conversation wrestles with fairness, complicity, reparations, and communal responsibility, and we note that while God commands a new heart and spirit, God also promises help to make that transformation possible.
