"Why did Jesus speak in parables if people wouldn't understand? Is Jesus calling this woman a dog? What's happening in this story, what can we learn, and why is it important? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Emily Carter, talk about Matthew 13-15 and discuss the significance of parables in Jesus' time, how we can learn from them today, and Jesus' heart to know all people.
