In this episode of the After Church Podcast, Kurt and Trey wrap up the series on the Parables of Jesus—but not before one last conversation packed with honesty, hope, and a whole lot of heart.

From the Parable of the Prodigal Son to the Lost Sheep, this episode explores:

• The lavish, unexpected grace of the Father
• How resentment and pride creep in, especially for the “older brothers” among us
• Why God’s grace should lead us to celebration—not judgment

The guys also take a step back to reflect on the cultural moment we’re living in:

• People are asking spiritual questions—on podcasts, in communities, in crisis
• How the Church can show up, not to win a fight, but to win people
• Why grace, not religiosity, should be our default posture in a divided world

Kurt and Trey don’t shy away from real talk—how God might use voices like Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson to stir curiosity, why the Church should run toward prodigals, and what it looks like to represent Jesus in both word and action.

“It’s not a fight against people—it’s a fight FOR people.”

“Let our default be compassion and grace—just like the Father.”
