Show Notes

What do matching basketball shoes and the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard have in common? In this episode of Voices, Kristyn Russell explores our tendency to measure love, fairness, and blessing by human standards, and how Jesus challenges that mindset. Through a personal story and this weekend’s Gospel, she reflects on God’s abundant generosity, the radical inclusivity of God's kingdom, and our call to make room for everyone at the table.
