In this kickoff episode of 'Stories of Revolution' from Roots in Relevance, we dive into the parables of Jesus and their subversive Kingdom values. Drawing from previous discussions on the image of God, we explore what makes a parable and why it matters. Through conversational and humorous dialogue, we address the power of storytelling in changing minds and hearts, emphasizing empathy and connection. With a look at Matthew 13 and an analysis of the purpose behind Jesus’ parables, we set the stage for uncovering the deep, transformative messages these stories hold. Join us as we begin this intriguing series and learn how Jesus' teachings were meant to upend societal norms and reveal the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God.
