About this episode

This episode explores Jesus' parable about the presence of evil and suffering in the world, using the metaphor of a farm.

A farm is a place of growth — but also a place of loss. This week we’ll explore one of Jesus’ most honest parables about evil, suffering, judgment, and hope. Why are there weeds in God’s good field? And what do we do when something goes wrong despite our best efforts?
