#65: Mark 4: You Know That He Knows If You Know, You Know?

In Mark 4, Jesus teaches his parable of the sower. We often think parables are supposed to make things clearer, but Jesus' parables often mystified even his closest disciples. In this episode, we think through how connection to Christ is essential for grasping the truths of God's kingdom.

#64: Isa & Matt: Gladly Doing Right

In this episode, we look at some connections between Isaiah and the New Testament book of Matthew. Isaiah's prophecies vividly depict a God whose power is unmatched, but a God who acts in unexpected ways. Jesus is this unexpected one, bringing God's power, not through rock-shattering but through acts of healing, mercy, and teaching. This counterintuitive approach is highlighted during John the Baptist's moment of doubt while imprisoned.
