Most of us were taught the Parable of the Talents as a stewardship lesson: don’t waste your gifts, work harder, multiply what God gave you—or else. But what if that’s not what Jesus was saying at all? What if we’ve been getting it wrong this whole time?

In this episode of The Semi-Seminarian Podcast, Pastor Jim unpacks Matthew 25:14–30 and shows how this familiar story turns out to be a dangerous critique of exploitation. The “wicked servant” isn’t lazy—he’s the only one who refuses to play the master’s game. And in the outer darkness, where the castoffs are thrown, that’s exactly where Christ shows up.
