Series Introduction: Parables of the Bible
We will be exploring eight of Jesus' parables over the coming episodes from three angles: the historical context at the time, the spiritual teachings Jesus was communicating, and universal life lessons we can apply today regardless of religious beliefs. Our goals are to introduce listeners to Jesus through how he taught via stories, show the practical wisdom found in the Bible, and foster engagement and discussion among the podcast community. We encourage listeners to leave comments and questions to help grow the podcast and engage the listeners. In the story of the week section, we discuss an upcoming Elon Musk biography as well as developments with the Wagner Group in Russia.
