Summary: On today’s episode of Dusty Boys, we get into the wilder side of conspiracy theories, Jesuit tales, and that time we heard they sank the Titanic. If you think your high school was full of strange teachings, wait until you hear about the “Jesuit Hunter” and what he had to say. But as always, we’re flipping this into something deeper, connecting a strange parable about a dishonest manager with our views on wealth, integrity, and the lengths people will go to justify their actions. We might even answer the burning question: did Jesus want us to be shrewd with our money?

(P.S. This summary was written by a robot. Let's hope it doesn’t lead to the Dusty Boys getting canceled.)

Should I Listen? Yes, if you’ve ever wondered about the true meaning behind Jesus’ parable of the dishonest manager or if you’re intrigued by strange tales that somehow tie back to the gospel. Whether you’re here for laughs or deep thoughts, this one covers both.

Episode Highlights:

1. Reflections:
   • [03:24] - The Jesuit Conspiracy - Hear about the time our teachers warned us about Jesuits and why that might not mean what you think.
   • [21:55] - Dishonest Manager or Genius? - We dig into the parable in Luke 16 and question whether Jesus is commending shrewdness or teaching us something about sacrifice.
   • [38:40] - Mammon Explained - What Jesus might really mean when he talks about “unrighteous wealth” and how it applies to us today.
2. Conversations:
   • [46:10] - The Real Treasure - Justin shares a story about using money in ways that build relationships, even if it costs you in the short term.
   • [53:22] - The OG Conspiracy Theory - Is Jesus the ultimate disruptor, and why would He want us to be “shrewd” in this world?

Memorable Quotes:

• “If you’ve got to use unrighteous wealth, do it to make friends who’ll welcome you into eternity.”
• “The biggest conspiracy is thinking you can keep money and relationships separate. Jesus says it doesn’t work like that.”
• “God was willing to get dusty, so what’s stopping us?”
