The Parable Podcast with Family Life on-air host Randy Snavely focuses on the parables of Jesus, the meaning of the lessons He taught, why He taught them as He did, with commentary and discussion that makes them relevant to our listeners lives today.  In Episode 45, it's part two of the Parable of the Fig Tree taken from Luke 13:6-9.  This parable of a barren fig tree is meant to teach us a that repentance is necessary, and it is possible with God's help. He is patient and grants us time to change and bear fruit. But we must not wait because we have no way of knowing how much time we have left!
