What kind of soil is your heart right now?

Jesus told the Parable of the Sower to a crowd so large that He stepped into a boat and taught from the water. The story is familiar: seed falls on the path, among the rocks, among the thorns, and finally on good soil.

But Jesus wasn’t simply telling a farming story.

He was asking us to hear.

In this first episode of Season Two of Hope for the Everyday, we look at the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13 and what it means to really hear and receive the Word of God in everyday life.

Because we all have ears. But hearing something and letting it take root are two different things.

Troy shares memories of his grandmother Rosie, the roots planted during his childhood at Trinity Lutheran School, a memorable school play featuring Wolfman Jack, and the ways faith, family, music, and Scripture have shaped the person he is today.

And he takes an honest look at his own heart, because none of us are perfectly good soil all the time.

Life gets noisy. Distractions grow. Sometimes the Word takes root. Sometimes it doesn’t.

So the question for this week is simple:

What kind of soil is your heart right now?

You don’t need a profound moment.
You may just need a little quiet to hear.

Hope for the Everyday is a Christian devotional podcast for ordinary people trying to live out their faith in the middle of ordinary life.

Season Two: Stories That Find Us.

Jesus didn’t tell these stories so we could simply admire them. He told them so they would find us.
