Pastor Mike and Amber Albee Swenson give us a preview of September's new TV message series, "Jesus' Growth Plan for Me." While discussing Jesus' parables that this series is based on, we also learn of the "mustard seed moments" that changed both Mike's and Amber's lives (both involve their moms), what Amber has in common with Dwight Shrute, and that one time Amber tried calling out Jesus—only for Jesus to mic drop her.

Pastor Mike also talks about his new book this month, "Stories to Change Your Life." The book invites us to explore some of these eye-opening parables told by the greatest storyteller of all time, Jesus. Starting Sunday, you can request "Stories to Change Your Life" with your gift to the ministry at timeofgrace.org.
