About this episode

The episode discusses the themes of growth and challenges in spiritual life as illustrated in Matthew 13.

Keeping this brief this week as I am recording the audio version of my book! But let's talk Matthew 13! Last week, Jesus spoke about the seed. This week, He shows us what happens when it begins growing in a messy field. The weeds do not mean the wheat has failed. The field is unfinished—but God is still at work.
