The Parable of the Talents has often been read as a lesson on gifts, effort, or productivity. But in Matthew 25, Jesus is asking a deeper question. What happens when Christ Himself is entrusted to us? Read in context, the parable isn’t about ability, but belief.

The wilderness is often used to explain seasons of waiting, hardship, or uncertainty. But in Scripture, the wilderness was never meant to describe the settled life of believers.

The new year usually starts with pressure — goals to set, habits to fix, versions of ourselves we promise to become. But the gospel doesn’t begin with instruction. It begins with an announcement.
