In this episode, we are exploring the parables Jesus uses to reveal the hidden life of the Kingdom. From the tension of weeds growing among wheat to the almost-invisible rise of yeast, each story offers a glimpse into how divine truth takes root in ordinary soil.

Along the trail, we reflect on the mustard seed’s surprising resilience, the joy of discovering hidden treasure, and the discerning search for a pearl of great value. We also consider the final parable—the net drawn in at day’s end—and what it reveals about discernment, purpose, and ultimate renewal.

Join us as we slow the pace, breathe deep, and listen for the way these ancient teachings still whisper through the wilderness of our own lives.

In this episode, we’re getting real about one of Jesus’ most relatable stories—The Parable of the Sower. Four soils, one seed… and somehow it describes all of us.

We’ll talk about what these “soils” look like in everyday life—the distracted heart, the overwhelmed heart, the shallow heart, and the heart that’s finally ready to grow. An honest look at why faith sticks for some people and feels impossible for others.

Most importantly, we’ll dig into how God can transform any heart, no matter where you’re starting.

So take a breath, tune in, and ask yourself: What kind of ground are you right now—and what kind do you want to become?

Happy Thanksgiving from the Narrow Trail!

We’ll unpack what Jesus meant by “a wicked and adulterous generation,” why chasing miraculous signs can distract us from true faith, and how His teaching redefines what it means to belong to the family of God. Instead of lineage, reputation, or religious performance, Jesus lays out a new standard: "those who hear and do the will of the Father."
