For too many people, the Bible has been used as a weapon or limited in how it speaks to what it means to be human. Let’s get curious about these stories. Let’s discover what God might be inviting us into.

This One Is Complicated | The Parable of the Workers in the Field
The Parable of the Workers in the Field from Matthew 20:1-16 is the focus of Episode 5 of Season 2 of Deconstructing the Bible.It could be a parable about God's grace...this always present gift of hope and love and belonging. No matter when we turn to it, no matter when we return to the good, it's there.It could be a parable about scarcity and abundance...how some people operate like there might not be enough in the world to go around, but really God is about abundance and plenty.It could be a parable about the exploitation of the poor and how the rich elite of the world keep people in a lower social class in order to maintain power and position.It's a complicated parable.How do you read it?!
