    Agricultural Parables - Opening up the Bible: Episode 3 - Pentecost 3

    Here are my thoughts about this week's gospel reading, which includes the parable of the grain and the parable of the mustard seed. Tea: Yuja Cha (Korean yuzu/citrus tea) 1:12 - Mark 4:26-34 2:40 - Jesus uses the grain and mustard as examples of community, sustenance, and nourishment 7:04 - Marsha P. Johnson started the Pride movement, but we often forget her legacy in our current celebrations/observances. The movement has grown, but we need to make sure not to kill it by whitewashing it. 10:42 - Recap: The Kingdom of God is community 11:24 - Song of the week: Unidos (by Benjamin Villanueva; Wonder, Love, and Praise #797) Thank you for listening!
