Episode 61: Parables (Part VIII-The Four Soils)

This episode is a short story, found in the Bible about a farmer who went out to sow (scatter/plant) seeds. His seeds fell on four different kinds of soils. Depending on what the soil was like, the seeds responded in very different ways. Is this just a story about gardening, or is there a deeper meaning about life? This story is unusual in that it appears three times in the Bible: Matthew 13:1-10, 18-23; Mark 4:3-8, 14-20; and Luke 8:5-8, 11-15.

Word of the Day: soil (n. v.)  dirt (n); to make something dirty or unclean (v.)

My wife likes to buy rich potting soil so she has beautiful plants in her garden each summer. 

Question of the Day: After you listen to this episode, which kind of “soil” is your heart? 

How do you answer this question: “Four men in a pew; which one are you?”
