The Sin of Eli — When Silence Becomes Complicity
In this episode of First Love, Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan Kassas, joined by special guest Dr. Tony Kassas, examine the sobering account of Eli and his sons, revealing what happens when those entrusted with spiritual responsibility fail to confront persistent sin. Discover why knowing something is wrong isn't the same as acting, how misplaced loyalty can enable destructive behavior, and why genuine love sometimes requires difficult confrontation rather than comfortable silence.
