In today’s podcast and post, I’m continuing my series on seeing beyond the parables. Our world sees the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer and blames this on corruption or inequity.

Join me now as we see beyond our talents and minas to discover why outer darkness is reserved for those who squander their lives.
