In this pre-recorded episode, we sit down with Dr. Brad Young to talk about the purpose of the parables in their original context and how it affects how we apply them to their lives today.

Professor Brad Young is a scholar and theologian specializing in biblical studies, particularly in the area of Jewish background of the New Testament and early Christianity. He has contributed significantly to understanding the historical and cultural context in which Jesus and the apostles lived and taught.

Kellie and Ryan Hannah have grown up, been married, raised a family, and are now being sent out by Crossroads to pursue their calling of providing biblical counseling to missionaries in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We chat about their life, and how God is using their story to now impact others. We also discuss the sermon from this week on the parables of the Treasure Hidden in a Field and the Pearl of Great Price.

In this episode, we sit down with our Jewish friend, David Nekrutman, to dive into the meaning and significance of Sabbath. Together, we explore questions like: What is Sabbath? Who is it for? And how can we incorporate it into our lives? We’re also joined by Emilie Wierda, a Christian who has embraced a weekly 24-hour pause. Emilie shares what the practice has meant to her, and the transformative impact it has had on her life.
