Episode Synopsis

Welcome back to Rethinking the Word — the podcast where we dig deep into scripture, challenge assumptions, and seek to better understand why we believe what we believe.🎙 In today’s episode, we’re looking at the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25… and I’m going to suggest it might not mean what you've always been told. Is it really about using your gifts and multiplying your resources? Or is Jesus warning his listeners about something else entirely?🔥 Topics we’ll explore:What was an actual talent in biblical times?Is this parable about spiritual gifts, money, or something deeper?Why does the "wicked servant" get cast into outer darkness?And what does this have to do with salvation by works?If you’ve ever wrestled with this passage—or feared you’re not “doing enough” with your gifts—this episode is for you.👀 Watch next: Episode 1 - The Bridesmaids: Did We Get It Wrong?📘 Up next: Matthew 24 & the Olivet Discourse — it’s gonna be wild.👇 Join the conversation:Like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts.
