 Title: The Ten Minas – Faithful in the Little Things

In this powerful episode, Fr. Dyson and Vinu dive into Jesus’ Parable of the Ten Minas (Luke 19:11–27) — a story of responsibility, courage, and what God expects us to do with the gifts He has placed in our hands.

Many people think this parable is about money — but Jesus points to something much bigger: our time, talents, influence, opportunities, and obedience. God does not ask for perfection; He asks for faithfulness. The question is simple:

Are you using what God gave you… or hiding it out of fear?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why God expects growth and not just safekeeping
• How fear can make us bury our gifts instead of multiplying them
• How small acts of obedience can lead to extraordinary impact

You’ll also receive a practical challenge for today — to take one gift you’ve been sitting on and finally put it to work for God’s Kingdom.

✨ Don’t just hold your mina — multiply it.
When we are faithful in the little things, God does something big.
