In this episode of the 412 Students Podcast, we walk through Jesus’ explanation of the Parable of the Sower in Mark 4:13–20. Jesus reveals how the condition of the heart determines how God’s Word is received—whether it is quickly taken away, shallowly embraced, slowly choked out, or faithfully received and bearing fruit.

Students are challenged to examine their own hearts: Are we merely hearing the Word, or are we truly receiving it with faith and perseverance? This teaching calls us to cultivate hearts that are rooted in Christ, steadfast through trials, and fruitful for the glory of God.
