What if the Kingdom of God doesn’t look like fireworks, but like a weed in your backyard? In this episode of The Semi-Seminarian Podcast, Pastor Jim walks the dusty path of Galilee to explore Jesus’ parables of the mustard seed and the leaven (Matthew 13:31-33, Mark 4:30-32, Luke 13:18-21).
These stories reveal a kingdom that starts impossibly small—like a speck of seed, like a pinch of leaven—and yet grows wild enough to give shelter to birds and raise bread for a village. We’ll talk about why Jesus chose mustard instead of cedar, how leaven flips the usual script of holiness, and what it means for grace to spread stubbornly through your life.
If you’ve ever wondered whether God remembers your address, this episode is for you. Grace is already rising.
