In this episode, Ben and Brian continue their discussion on the Book of James. They focus on the themes of listening, speaking, and anger, emphasizing the importance of being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. They also discuss the idea of being doers of the word, not just hearers, and how our theology should lead to action.

They then delve into the topic of showing favoritism and the importance of treating all people equally, as taught in Jewish tradition. They highlight the need for the church to care for the poor, widows, and orphans, and the significance of living out our faith through acts of mercy and love. In this conversation, James emphasizes the importance of loving others and living a holy life.

He reminds listeners that loving their neighbors as themselves is a central commandment in the Torah. James encourages believers to live differently from the world and to show no partiality based on wealth, status, or abilities. He highlights the need to see people as God sees them and to look for the gold in others.

James also emphasizes the importance of faith being accompanied by action, using the examples of Abraham and Rahab. He challenges believers to live out their faith and to manifest righteousness in their actions.
