S2E42: A Conversation with Aaron Jayne: Brokenness Doesn't Have a Zip Code (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aaron Jayne grew up in a shattered home in North Texas and then headed to Phoenix before taking a massive leap of faith and moving to inner-city Los Angeles to help plant a church that eventually became the Dream Center. 16 years later, he moved to North County San Diego and discovered something he didn't expect: no matter where you go, people really aren't that different. In this conversation, we talk about Aaron's experiences in LA, brokenness in its many forms, what money can hide, and why Aa
S2E41: The Parable of the Dragnet: Where is This All Going? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus says the Kingdom of Heaven is like a giant net that sweeps through the water, gathers everything, and eventually reaches the shore. In this episode, we look at the Parable of the Dragnet (from Matthew 13), its connection to the Wheat and the Weeds, and a deeply theological word: eschatology . Where is this slow, sometimes almost invisible Kingdom actually going, and what do we do with Jesus' intense language about judgment?

S2E40: The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree: Where are the Figs!? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus tells a story about a fig tree that has been given everything it needs to grow and still isn't producing any fruit. In the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree, we wrestle with repentance, judgment, patience, and a grace that doesn't simply give us more time, but refuses to leave us as we are. Episode Artwork: Abel Grimmer, Landscape with the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree , c. 1600. Oil on panel. Public domain. SHOW NOTES This week, we're staying with the imagery of soil, growth, and fruit—but
S2E39: The Parable of The Sower: Do you Have Ears to Hear? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus begins the Parable of the Sower with one word: Listen. This episode suggests that hearing Jesus is different from simply knowing what He said...and what if one of the things keeping us from hearing Him is assuming that we already do? Episode Artwork: Vincent van Gogh, The Sower , 1888. Oil on canvas. Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands. Show Notes If you grew up around church, you probably know the Parable of the Sower. Four soils. Four responses. And if we're being honest, most of
S2E38: On Understanding the Bible: What if we aren't the good guys? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if one of the things keeping us from understanding the Bible is the assumption that we already see it clearly? Dr. Chris Whyte joins me for a conversation about holiness, repentance, the danger of reading ourselves as the good guys in Jesus’ stories, and why Scripture might be best understood when we learn to read it together. SHOW NOTES What if the problem isn't that we aren't reading the Bible... but that we sometimes come to it already convinced that we know where we belong in the story?
