In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick and Kelly Dippolito begin a two-part series on the Parables as they dive into two biblical parables featuring women: the Wise and Foolish Virgins from Matthew 25 and the Parable of the Joyful Mother from John 16. They explore the rich theological meanings behind these stories, examining how Jesus drew on everyday female experiences to teach profound lessons about discipleship, suffering, and joy. They also highlight the historical context of these parables, their significance in early Christian interpretation, and how they invite both men and women to understand the Kingdom of Heaven.
