Testing Our Spiritual Conditions (Matthew 13:1-9,18-23)

About this episode

This episode explores the parable of the sower and encourages listeners to reflect on their own spiritual conditions.

The first parable (story) Jesus told in his sermon in chapter 13 is about a farmer casting seed onto various soil conditions. His aim is to get people to recognize what soil (spiritual condition) they actually have; so it's a test. There are four conditions Jesus mentions. Which one do you have? Join us!
