This was such an interesting episode! There were hard topics because they were so oddly broad while being specific. However, our guest Emily Kaufman absolutely killed this episode. She brought a great passage of Scripture and gave great sermon illustrations time and time again. Sit back and enjoy as we dive into sermon illustrations, and how we continue to make fools of ourselves while coming up with illustrations!

We did it! We went through all eight topics this week, we were on a roll. Plus, our guest was firing off Modern Parables so insanely well! We had snoopy, tide pods, swimming pool, and horror movie among four others. We went through them in a heartbeat and it was so insightful and glorifying to God. We did have plenty of laughs and it was such a fun time. Sit back and join us in creating Modern Parables!

Dr. Jonathan Morgan joins us on this week's episode! He brings laughter and a different perspective than what we are usually accustomed to. He is a theology professor and brings in a theological mindset that we do not usually think through. As we bring sermon illustrations for different topics, including a blender, Peyton Manning, Pluto, and Advil. Sit back and enjoy as we make more modern parables!

Modern Parables is always full of laughter, and it definitely showed during this episode! Jared Webb brought a fantastic verse of Scripture and was a good reminder that the Hobby Lobby verses are not always the best to look to as Christians. On this episode we discuss Modern Parables with the topics Bob Ross, Air Pods, Magicians, Pyramids of Giza, and more. Sit back and enjoy!

Our guest today brought a very interesting passage of Scripture, and none of us were expecting it. Alex blessed this episode with great illustrations, as well as, a very peculiar verse in Scripture. Make sure to listen, especially when "And he fled naked..." pops up. By the way, context matters, so make sure to listen to our modern parables, enjoy!

This week, we have Doctor Eddy Shigley on the podcast giving us more insights and illustrations that we have never heard before. Sit back, get ready to laugh, and enjoy!

On the very first episode of the Modern Parables Podcast, Co-hosts Tyler Sanders, Isaac Steiner, and Noah Yearout sit with guest Nick Brock as they come up with random sermon illustrations with the topics Aragorn, Candy Corn, An Empty Bottle, and Lightning McQueen. The catch is that they have no idea what these topics are until they begin recording. Sit back, laugh, and enjoy these 4 pastors as they create sermon illustrations!
