In this episode, the pastors tackle a puzzling biblical question: How can Matthew, Mark, and Luke tell the same story of Jairus and Jesus so differently? How can these passages be harmonized to answer this apparent contradiction?

And what about the parable of the wineskins? Is it really about old versus new covenants, or is there a simpler meaning hidden in plain sight? Why does Jesus compare Himself to a bridegroom, and what does fasting have to do with joy, loss, and our spiritual journey today? Also what would Jesus say about Lent? Join the pastors as they wrestle with the text.
