    S2E10: The Parable of the Pharisee and The Tax Collector: "Dear God, thank you that I am awesome."

    In this episode, Jesus tells a short story about two men who go pray, but only one of them leaves right with God. In this episode, we explore tax-collectors and pharisees as categories, thew disease of self-righteousness, the necessity of humility, and the reality that desperation gets us closer to God than spiritual performance ever will.

    S2E9: The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard - The Economics of Grace

    Matthew 20 gives us the the parable of the workers in the vineyard where Jesus tells a story that completely obliterates our sense of fairness. God's generosity doesn't fit inside our paradigms of fairness...and that's a good thing.

    S2E8: The Prodigal Son’s Older Brother — Resentful, Crusty, and Missing the Party (Part 2)

    The story doesn't end when the younger son comes home... Jesus isn’t finished yet. In the second half of the parable, we meet the older brother. He's loyal, faithful, responsible, and downright crusty. He's absolutely furious that grace has been given so freely. This part of the story is aimed at those of us who think we’ve been doing everything right all along. Watch out. These parables will get ya!

    S2E7: The Parable of the Prodigal Son; or is it Prodigal Father? (Part 1)

    Sometimes stories from the Bible become so familiar that they start to lose their impact. In Luke 15, Jesus tells three stories about things that are lost. The third one is about two sons who are both, in their own ways, lost. We may think we know this story well, but maybe its familiarity has dulled its power. Let’s see if we can rediscover the grandeur of God’s grace.

    S2E6: The Parable of The 2 Sons - Yes, No...Maybe so?

    In Matthew 21, Jesus tells a story about two sons. One son says the right thing but never does what is asked, and the other son says 'No' but eventually changes his mind and does it. This parable reminds us that in God's economy, transformation matters more than appearances and empty words. This is the parable of the 2 sons.

    S2E4: The Parable of the Great Banquet - "Wait...I'm invited!?"

    Jesus describes the kingdom as a feast where the invitation is generous and the refusals are insulting. The prophet Isaiah dreamed of a day when God would host a banquet, swallow up death, and wipe away every tear. Now, Jesus says that feast is hot and ready. The question is not whether the table is set, but why so many still choose not to come.

    S2E3: The Parable of the (hidden) KRYPTO Treasure

    Today we explore Jesus’ parables of the hidden treasure and the merchant looking for fine pearls. These are two stories about a kingdom that is so quietly present that most people miss it, yet it's so valuable that those who truly see it will gladly reorder their entire lives to possess it.
