It's not quite the Dead Sea Scrolls but it IS a modern take on the heart of Scripture. It's the Bible spoken in story form-- written just for you! Join in the exploration and interact with the stories of old. Be encouraged as you hear how the once confusing anecdotes become more familiar and well, actually applicable! Prepare for a quest filled with questions, inquiry turned to imagination, and wisdom intermingled with whimsy! Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/podcastparables/support
Happy First Birthday Podcast Parables!
One year ago, the vision was born to create a podcast that would tell the stories of the Bible in a unique and special way. Because of the goodness and graciousness of God, here we are-- 68 episodes in, hours and hours of content created, four seasons worth of Bible explored, and 40 Bible characters interacted with.
Join me in this celebratory episode where we pause, reflect back, jump for joy, and continue to walk forward in faith.
Thank you, listeners!
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 3:14

Podcast Parables - Season 4 GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church Episode 5 - Cornelius Around these parts, we love exploring and interacting with Scripture and encourage you to do the same. All of these stories are taken straight from the pages of the Word, with Biblical integrity and historical accuracy held at highest priority but there is permission to fill in the blanks of what was not written and to imagine what might have been. So, welcome, glad you’re here! Today, we will take a look at Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and labeled the first GENTILE, or non-Jewish convert to The Way. James E. Kiefer says, “In New Testament times, an estimated ten per cent of the population of the Roman Empire consisted of God-fearers, Gentiles who recognized that the pagan belief in many gods and goddesses, who according to the myths about them were given to adultery, treachery, intrigue, and the like, was not a religion for a thoughtful and moral worshipper, and who had accordingly embraced an ethical monotheism--belief in One God, who had created the world, and who was the upholder of the Moral Law. Although only a few of them took the step of formal conversion to Judaism, undergoing circumcision and accepting the obligations of keeping the food laws and ritual laws of Moses and his rabbinical interpreters, most of them attended synagogue services regularly.” http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/97.html This is the story of Cornelius, found in Acts Chapter 10.

Episode 5 - Tabitha
Tabitha was this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds. She is always portrayed in artworks and commentary as a holy woman, and that may well have been true. But she also sounds like one of those large-bosomed, generous-hearted women loved by all. She was used by God because she used what she had. Her kindness changed a whole community. Even if that’s all we know for sure, today, friends. That’s something we can absolutely take with us. We can all be used by God by using what we’ve got. And kindness matters in community.
Listen in to her story today! Enjoy.

Episode 3 - Sapphira
Status. Power. Prestige. Honor. >>> Ananias and Sapphira got it twisted. They thought their core standards of interacting with the world matched the ways of Jesus. They loved what Jesus had to offer-- the prayer services were great, the fellowship was awesome, the people were amazing. But they didn’t realize that the way of Jesus went beyond a great service; it required sacrifice.

Podcast Parables - Season 4
GEN1 - Proclaiming Jesus. Building the Church
Episode 1 - 1 in 3000
Welcome to the first episode in Season 4. We jump right to Acts 2 into a story of windstorms, flames of fire, and revival in the streets! Our character comes from the statement at the end of the chapter in verse 41, “Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.” We get to meet just one of those people in today’s podcast and her story bears great witness to what God can do.

BONUS EPISODE
>>>Conversation with Caleb
Grab a cup of coffee or put on those walking shoes, pop the headphones in and join my conversation with the Million Dollar Boy! Caleb is, in many ways, a regular boy-- he loves soccer, plays Pokemon, is a big brother, and does his schooling from home these days. But in other ways, he is very irregular-- he is committed to sharing his resources, in Jesus name, with the underprivileged around the world. In addition, he isn’t afraid to invite us to do the same. Caleb has been charged with raising ONE MILLION DOLLARS for a ministry with which he has already served overseas. We talk about that and more today.
Get ready to not only be inspired by this young man’s faith journey but also be pushed to action as a result.
Please, consider partnering with Caleb and Scalpel at the Cross to serve the physical and spiritual needs of Pucallpan Peruvians, tribal populations, and the missionaries who serve them.

She is almost always mentioned in the Bible as “Rahab the prostitute." But that’s not all. Rahab was also a Canaanite-- who were the hated enemies of Israel.

Robyn Dykstra is passionate about helping women find hope in the midst of their messes - whether large or small, self-induced or thrust upon them.
Robyn speaks to the hearts and hurts of women all over the country as a national speaker and author.

Years later, as a fully surrendered Christian woman who was widowed twice in only four years - she had a lot of questions for God that required an answer.
We will dive in to some of those questions in this conversation today. Join the story...

What will she do? The guest author and recorder today is Rebecca Jones who says, “As a beloved daughter, cherished and protected by my Heavenly and earthly Fathers, I didn’t really understand how much our identity is shaped just by what we are told and who loves us, until I sat in rooms with women who had been used, abused and neglected and have such a hard time believing Jesus could really love them. This story is for them.”

In this episode, we step into the story of the Samaritan Woman who speaks with Jesus at Jacob's Well near the town of Sychar. She has a thirst, a desire for 'more,' and encounters the One who can fill both of those deep needs in her life. This one is for anyone with questions, anyone whose mouth often gets ahead of them, and anyone who desires more from this life.

The shame of sin is in all of us. We have all made choices in the shadows of our own lives. None of us want to face the consequences of the wrongs we’ve done or the wrongs done to us but what if those consequences were met with the extension of grace and brought into the Light?

In this episode, we step into the story of a woman not mentioned in the Bible-- the wife of Justus, the almost-disciple-that-replaced-Judas. We see the ‘casting of lots’ scene in the first chapter of Acts but what if we imagined the rest of the story? Today’s episode is for anyone who has ever felt passed over, unchosen, not picked, or left out, reckoning what life should be with what God has sovereignly ordained to be. It’s for anyone who has faithfully served Jesus and His church, wondering if it’s even making a difference. It’s for anyone who has wrestled with feelings of comparison or jealousy, sacrificing peace for a chip on the shoulder. Follow @Podcast_Parables on Instagram!

It's not quite the Dead Sea Scrolls but it IS a modern take on the heart of Scripture. It's the Bible spoken in story form; a story that was written just for you. Join in the exploration and interact with the stories of old. Be encouraged as you hear how the once confusing anecdotes become more familiar and well, actually applicable! Permission granted for a quest filled with questions, inquiry turned to imagination, and wisdom intermingled with whimsy!
Today's story features the Bleeding Woman from Mark 5. May you be blessed by her story...
