In the final week of our series on parables, the Roots and Relevance team delves into the Parable of the Vineyard Workers from Matthew 20. They discuss the concept of 'quiet quitting' in modern workplaces and draw parallels to the expectations and rewards in the kingdom of heaven. As the discussion unfolds, they touch on themes of entitlement, grace, and relational dynamics in both contemporary and biblical contexts. The episode ends with an announcement of their upcoming series on the book of Esther.
