Integrity isn’t about the values we claim. It’s whether our actions match them even when loyalty, convenience, or competing obligations get in the way.
Have you ever caught yourself criticizing someone for something you’d probably excuse if a person on your own side did it? This week, we’re exploring integrity and why it has less to do with the values we claim and more to do with whether those values actually survive our choices.
As we reflect on the readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we’ll explore why integrity asks us to judge actions by our values rather than our tribes, make those values visible through what we do, and recognize what we owe others without surrendering the principles that define us.
In this episode, we’re asking a deceptively simple question: Does what I’m doing right now reflect who I say I am? Together, we’ll uncover some profound wisdom underneath these ancient texts and explore why integrity isn’t about ideological purity or perfect consistency. It’s about doing the ongoing work of bringing what we believe, what we say, and what we do into alignment.
