IDCC begins a reflection on Jesus' 'Inaugural Speech' at Nazareth and the reaction of His listeners. In discussing Jesus' Message and Mission, Steve weaves in some of how his recent trip to Burma and Thailand add a greater dimension to what Jesus was getting at and why the Nazarenes may have acted the way they did. Listen as we discuss how 'preaching the good news to the poor' and 'setting captives free' are no easy tasks, but are ones in which we Christians must be fully invested.
