The big question that we want to answer is, why did Jesus speak in parables? It's a great question. If Jesus came on a rescue mission for the world, why would he use parables as one of the primary ways to communicate with the people who he talked to?
Simple, so that anyone could hear whether they had extensive education or whether they didn't even know how to read. These stories resonate with anybody who would listen because they were common stories, and we kinda love that. God wants to be understood. But there's also another reason Jesus spoke in parables that gets a little bit more confusing. Check out this episode to find out the seemingly contradictory reasons that Jesus used parables.

Everyone loves a good story. Whether it’s a novel, film, or song, we are products of the narratives that have formed us—for good or bad. If you need fresh inspiration or are stuck living under the weight of a story you can’t shake off, consider this study of the parables of Jesus.
Through six sessions, you’ll hear directly from Jesus through the Word. His parables not only form (or reform) who we are, they reveal more about God than we ever thought possible. They provide the hope we’re looking for, speaking above all the other noise we may be experiencing.
