Not only do we begin a new series, but I am trying a new format for this series specifically, taking the recordings from my live interactive teaching through 1 Peter in San Diego. In part 1, we talk about some of the "why" of Peter's letter and the central theme of being reborn into a living hope.

Welcome back! We begin this episode by catching you up with what's been going on, including two exciting announcements, but then we dig into a really helpful topic when it comes to the ebb and flow of our spiritual life: desolation & consolation. It is hard to preview it here, but just know that what we talk about here will help you better identify and embrace the particular season and spiritual experience you are going through.

In this episode, we begin a new series on the parables of Jesus. We start by looking at the parable of the wheat and the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43). All of Matthew 13 sheds light on how God's kingdom is taking root in the world. And this parable, additionally, addresses an intriguing question: Is the world getting better or worse? Tune in to hear the surprising answer!
