A farmer goes out to sow—and the seeds fall on all kinds of soil.

In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ parable of The Sower (Matthew 13:1–23), exploring what it means for us today. Why do some people hear the gospel and thrive while others fade away? What kind of soil best describes your heart right now?

It’s a familiar story with a hard question at its core—are we truly hearing and responding to the Word?

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.” — Matthew 25:13 (ESV)

In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ parable of The Ten Virgins—a vivid call to spiritual readiness. What does it mean to live prepared, with hearts that are truly waiting for Christ? And what happens when we treat His return like it’s a distant event instead of an imminent reality?

This one’s challenging, hopeful, and a needed wake-up call for all of us.

Jesus tells a story about a king throwing a wedding feast—a celebration overflowing with grace and invitation. But not everyone comes. Some ignore it. Others resist. And one shows up without the right clothes.

In this episode, we unpack what this parable means for us today: God’s open invitation, our call to respond, and what it really means to be clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

This episode is different. We set aside our normal lighthearted intro to talk about the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk—processing what it means, how it’s affecting us, and the weight we know some of you are carrying too.

Afterward, we turn to Jesus’ parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1–16). It’s a story that flips our idea of fairness upside down and reminds us that God’s grace is always surprising, always undeserved, and always enough.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net…” (Matthew 13:47)

Jesus’ parable of the net gives us a sobering reminder: there will be a final separation between the righteous and the wicked. In this episode, we talk through what this means for how we live now, why judgment is both terrifying and good news, and how this parable fits with the other kingdom parables in Matthew 13.

The kingdom of God doesn’t always look impressive at the start.

A tiny mustard seed. A little bit of leaven in flour.

In this episode, we look at how Jesus uses these parables to remind us that God’s work often begins small, hidden, and slow—but always ends in unstoppable growth.

In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus calls us to more than playing it safe. He calls us to faithful risk.

This episode dives into what it means to steward what God has given us—whether that’s time, resources, influence, or opportunities—for His kingdom, not our comfort.
