Terrible Parables
MockingbirdSometimes the Good Book doesn’t sound all that great. Fortunately, first impressions can be misleading, and the surprise of grace may be hiding in plain sight.

- Deeply Edifying
This podcast has made me rejoice over Jesus’ parables in new ways. I served as a pastor for many years and had the privilege of studying them deeply at different times, but always was hungry to learn more. I also often read the parables with a pit in my stomach, identifying with whoever was the “weakest link” in the parable. This podcast has released so much of that and unveiled a tsunami of Jesus’ precious grace in his kingdom and in these parables. Thank you so much!

Canadaa month ago - Much Appreciated Insight
I have found that it is one thing to be able to know the difference between the law and the gospel and another thing to try and apply that theological concept to a particular passage. This is especially true for the parables, which are some of the most fear inducing and confusing passages in the Bible. I am grateful for this series and the insights it provides on these important passages. It is life giving and grace filled and I highly recommend it.

I have a sense that the hosts spent more time practicing what they were going to say than deeply reading the parable over and over to understand it.
Generally I have appreciated the Mockingbird project, but for such a potentially enriching discussion these barely get past the easy cliché’s and kind of lame banter.

The hosts avoid easy, moralistic interpretations of the parables and instead dig into the textures and contours of these stories in order to bring Jesus’ message to life for contemporary audiences. Plus a great soundtrack. Give it a listen.
