In this episode, Sara and Brittany take a deeper look at how to read Jesus’ parables, not just through modern eyes, but through the lens of the people who first heard them. We explore the purpose of parables, common mistakes readers make when interpreting them, and why understanding the original audience matters so much.

Drawing from insights shared by The Bible Project on how to read (and not read) parables, we unpack the Parable of the Ten Virgins and discover how it comes alive when viewed through the cultural context of first-century Jewish wedding traditions. What would Jesus' listeners have immediately understood that many modern readers miss? How does Jesus intentionally place Himself within these familiar customs to reveal profound truths about His identity and the Kingdom of God?

Join us as we explore the rich cultural backdrop behind one of Jesus’ most discussed parables and uncover timeless lessons about readiness and faithfulness.Bridegroom.
