POD Strangely Warmed Ep 136: “The 45 Parables: Encountering Jesus Through His Stories”

The Parables of Jesus are some of the most well-known in the world. But what if we’ve been moving through them too quickly to really hear what they’re saying? In this episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins sits down with Rev. Andy Nixon to explore The 45 Parables and the deeper meaning behind the stories Jesus told. Together, they reflect on how parables invite us to slow down, ask better questions, and encounter Jesus in ways that go beyond surface-level understanding. This conversation is for anyone curious about faith, whether you’ve spent years in the church or you’re still figuring out what you believe. Through storytelling, humor, and honest reflection, Andy shares why parables create space for both believers and skeptics to engage with Scripture in a meaningful way.
