Ep 68 - Parables: Describing the Indescribable As You Go

It's the Season 4 premiere of the As You Go Podcast! We're glad to be back with another year of great conversations (and we don't plan to cut this season short due to marriage ceremonies, unexpected surgeries, and house moves...)On this episode of AYG, Bo sits down with fellow pastors Jeff Reams (DBC Missions Pastor and MissionLife Podcast host) and Robert Comeaux (DBC Worship & Arts Pastor) to discuss their recent experience studying and preparing sermons on some of Jesus' parables. Their discussion focuses on the unique nature of reading and interpreting the parables of Jesus, as well as the idiosyncrasies and occasional difficulties encountered when preaching about what are already inherently sermons in story form. How should believers extrapolate the lessons within a parable? Are parables meant to be read symbolically or allegorically? Do we do a disservice to parables when we teach them through expository sermons?We would love to hear your thoughts on our conversation, and find out what your favorite (or least favorite?) parable is.
