How to read and think about the parables of Jesus

S2E6 - David and Scott discuss different writing styles and genres in the New Testament.

Christian author Rebecca McLaughlin shares some biographical details and how they intertwine with her evangelism and discipleship journeys. David and Scott discuss with Rebecca how having one's main life goal of telling people about Jesus has affected her life.

David and Scott continue with author Carissa Gobble and Nancy Cunningham about the Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Nancy shares her conversion story which Carissa tells in a chapter in Volume 2 of Becoming Jesus People. Nancy grew up in the church, and while she knew about Jesus, she did not yet know Jesus until the summer of 1974 on a road trip out West. Freedom was the mantra of the day but she like many others was searching for something more. Nancy tells of the unlikely path God brought her on to reach Liberation House in Eugene, Oregon where she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. Fifty years later Nancy met Carissa after Nancy did an internet search on Liberation House and found and read Carissa's first book, Becoming Jesus People, Volume 1. Carissa was intrigued with Nancy's story partly because it was the story of a hippie's journey of a road trip.
