About this episode

This episode discusses the Parable of the Sower and the nature of grace in relation to different types of hearts.

Mass Prep for Matthew 13:1–23, the Parable of the Sower. God is not waiting for the perfect soul before He speaks. He throws the Word into distracted hearts, wounded hearts, hard hearts, and overgrown hearts. The soul is not a machine. It is dirt. And grace is a seed with dirt under its fingernails.
