The Retelling

Ever feel frustrated watching someone else receive the same blessing you worked way longer for? 👀🍇In this episode of The Retelling, we dive into the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard — where the workers who started at sunrise were HOT when the 5PM crew received the exact same pay. 😅💰But here’s the twist: the vineyard owner never cheated anyone. Every worker agreed to the same wage — one denarius. So why were the early laborers so upset?This story challenges comparison, entitlement, jealousy, and our understanding of God’s grace. Sometimes we think blessings should be based on hours worked… but God’s kingdom doesn’t operate like human scorekeeping. 🙏🏾Whether you’ve been serving God for years or you’re just now finding your faith, this parable reminds us that grace isn’t earned — it’s given.Scripture Review2 Peter 3:9Titus 2:11Galatians 3:28Help keep The Retelling going—one coffee at a time.

In this episode of The Retelling, we sit down with Jerry to have a real, honest conversation about faith, doubt, and the desire for confirmation. Is it wrong to ask God for a sign? How do we know if it’s truly God speaking—or just us overthinking?We unpack the story of Gideon and his bold (and very relatable) request for signs, and what it teaches us about trusting God even when we’re unsure.Because let’s be real…Sometimes we don’t just want faith—we want clarity, confirmation, and maybe even a little reassurance from God along the way.In this episode, we talk about:-Asking God for signs vs. trusting His voice-Discernment vs. doubt-When God answers… and when He’s silent-How to move forward in faith even when you’re unsureWhether you’ve been waiting on a sign, second-guessing what you heard, or just trying to grow in your faith—this conversation is for you.Call to Action:This week, instead of asking God for more signs, ask Him for clarity and confidence to trust what He’s already said.Join the conversation:Have you ever asked God for a sign?
