The Parables of Jesus: A Q&A Wrap-Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Cultivate, Charlie and Abigail close out the parables series the way it deserves — with a Q&A episode where Abigail asks the big picture questions she's been sitting with across ten months of episodes. They cover how Jesus's original audience heard "the kingdom of God" (hint: they were expecting military victory and Roman blood), why Jesus taught in parables instead of just saying what he meant, what gets lost when we approach Scripture with a Google-everything mindset, and why read
Service and Witness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us have been taught to treat serving people and telling people about Jesus as two separate things — maybe even competing ones. Do you help someone in need, or do you share the gospel with them? Charlie's answer: yes. In week five of Walking the Ancient Paths, Charlie walks through Matthew 5:14-16 and makes the case that being the light of the world isn't something you work up to. It's who you already are. Right now. In whatever stage you think you're in. The question isn't whether you're
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Cultivate, Charlie and Abigail work through the final parable of the series — the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats in Matthew 25. It's the last judgment. The Son of Man sits on his throne. Everyone is gathered. Sheep on the right, goats on the left. The sheep get in because they fed Jesus when he was hungry, gave him water when he was thirsty, clothed him, visited him in prison. The goats didn't. Neither group has any idea when they saw Jesus in any of those situations. The answer
Simplicity and Fasting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The culture around us is lying. It's telling us that more is always better — more stuff, more success, more achievement — and that life is found somewhere on the other side of having enough. Most of us know it's a lie. We're buying it anyway. In week four of Walking the Ancient Paths, Mark takes on two of the most countercultural practices in the ancient Christian tradition: simplicity and fasting. Not as guilt trips or religious obligations, but as two very specific ways to push back against th
The Parable of the Wedding Banquet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Cultivate, Charlie and Abigail work through the Parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew 22. A king throws a wedding banquet for his son. The invited guests don't come. He sends more servants — some are ignored, some are killed. The king destroys the city. He opens the invitation to literally anyone off the street, good and bad. The hall fills up. Then he spots one man without wedding clothes and throws him out. Charlie and Abigail slow down on that last detail — because if everyon
