  Mar 30, 202616 minS0

  <p >Lately, we've been exploring a simple but powerful idea: Joy is meant to be shared.</p> <p >We've heard how stories shape us. How stability restores dignity.

  258: Jesus the storyteller with Dr. Amy-Jill Levine

  Mar 9, 202626 minS0

  <p >Why did Jesus choose stories instead of sermons?</p> <p >In this episode, New Testament scholar Dr. Amy-Jill Levine explores how Jesus' parables don't simply explain God's kingdom—they invite us into it.</p> <p >Rooted deeply in Jewish storytelling tradition, the parables aren't tidy moral lessons.
