In which John and David look at the parable of the lost son in Luke 15. But is it a parable about only one lost son, or two? And how might understanding a Jewish tradition called Keżażah help us appreciate this parable in a whole new way? And why does David want to know how many hamburgers are made from one cow?

In which John and David look at Matthew's version of the parable of the Lost Sheep. Jesus takes a parable we know and drops it into a new context about the greatest and the least. What if the economics of the kingdom of God don't think best, bigger and great aren't as important as we think?
