Comparison has a way of convincing us that God owes us more. But in Matthew 20, Jesus tells the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard to reveal a completely different way of thinking.

Ep 168 · Jul 13, 2026 · 1 hr 3 min

Ep 155 · Apr 20, 2026 · 1 hr 4 min
What does real faith actually look like? In Matthew 9, we see two desperate people come to Jesus, not with pride or perfection, but with need. A father believing for his daughter.

When your need outweighs your ego, you’ll finally surrender. Desperation isn’t weakness, it’s the starting point of faith. Because it…
