Summary

Rob Bell describes interacting with scripture like this: there’s the black ink (what’s written on the page), then there’s the white space around it (where we dance with what’s written). In Episode 185, Susan and Cynthia take on what Latter-day Saints commonly call the Parable of the Talents, from Matthew 25. It’s a conversation about grace out of hand, covenant relationship, and how we may have come to think about things the way we do. If you’re a fan of the #gracepeddlers, you won’t want to miss it!

0:57.2	I've been wanting to do another one of these
0:59.2	for a while, Cynthia.
1:00.6	I think the last one was the ten virgins.
1:03.0	Uh-huh, uh-huh.
1:05.0	We should make that a theme.

1:17.0	So maybe we should go back and rebrand.
