In this podcast, Fr. John and Danny reflect on Judah’s transformation in Genesis 38, where his hypocrisy and self-interest are exposed through his dealings with Tamar. Tamar’s bold actions lead Judah to a moment of recognition, admitting, “She is more righteous than I,” which marks his spiritual awakening. They also highlight how true righteousness is defined not by appearances or self-serving motives, but by honesty, justice, and the ability to see ourselves clearly before God.

This time Fr. John and Danny explore Judah’s descent in Genesis 38, where he turns away from his brothers and embraces a worldly, sensual life by marrying a Canaanite woman. They highlight the dangers of “seeing and taking,” or concupiscence, which distorts love into self-gratification rather than self-giving. Ultimately, Judah’s fall serves as a mirror for God’s people today, reminding us of our own tendencies toward selfishness and the need for spiritual awakening.

His suffering and humiliation become the means by which he learns humility and freedom from the illusion of control. The story reminds us that trials and loss are not detours but essential parts of spiritual growth, drawing us closer to God.
