Speaker: Tali Hairston, Director of the Perkins Center and Special Assistant to the President.
Big picture: Instead of reinforcing our certainties about God, Jesus' parables challenge our ideas of how we live into the kingdom of heaven. Throughout his teaching Jesus speaks through the mystery of parables as a way of eliciting a response from his audience, proclaiming that the kingdom comes only to those who are willing to see and hear the newness of God's word. We do not find crisp legalistic truths in Jesus' teaching but are instead convicted to listen to the ever expanding will of God.
Proof that Tali hangs out with VIPs.
