During this episode, Sara and Brittany go through the first half of Luke chapter 14. They discuss some tips given by The Bible Project on how to read and interpret parables and common types of parables.

They explore one of Jesus’ most surprising dinner party moments. What begins as a tense Sabbath meal with Pharisees quickly becomes a powerful lesson on humility, hospitality, and God’s upside-down Kingdom.

Jesus challenges social norms, exposes hidden pride, and tells a parable that flips the script on who gets invited to God’s feast. The Great Banquet isn’t about status, titles, or appearances. It’s about responding to the invitation when it comes.

We’ll unpack:
✨ Why Jesus healed on the Sabbath in front of His critics
✨ What true humility looks like at God’s table
✨ How the Great Banquet reveals God’s heart for the overlooked
✨ What this passage calls us to do in our modern world

A challenging and hope-filled message reminding us: Everyone is invited, but not everyone says yes.

Sara ends with a challenge to go and read Romans 11:11-25

In a world that seems to thrive on outrage, Jesus calls His followers to something radically different—living unoffendable. In today’s episode, we dig into what Scripture says about guarding our hearts, responding with grace, and reflecting the character of Christ even when we’re hurt, misunderstood, or mistreated.

In this episode of Like Jasper, a sequel to The History of Mormonism, we explore the key differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity. From views of God, Jesus, and salvation to the role of extra-biblical writings, we highlight where the two faiths diverge and why it matters for understanding truth and discipleship.
