"Parables are just simple stories meant for children, with no deep meaning for adults."

Yet, Jesus used parables to convey profound truths to those who were willing to listen and seek understanding. In the Gospel of Matthew 13:13, Jesus says: "This is why I speak to them in parables: though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand."

Parables are like puzzles—challenging us to look beyond the surface to discover the hidden wisdom. Unlock the mysteries of these divine puzzles by subscribing to "Holy Contradictions." Start your day with thought-provoking reflections, quicker than you can finish a cup of coffee.


"Holy Contradictions: ❤️ Love, 😡 Hate, ✝️ Faith, and 🙏 Forgiveness in the Bible" is a compelling podcast series featuring the voice of Samuel Hollingsworth. Each 1-minute episode delves into the divine dualities within scripture, challenging listeners to rethink their understanding of love, hate, faith, and forgiveness through provocative theses and ironic twists. Every quote comes with a little sidekick explanation that even ten-year-olds can get.

The series also touches on other significant biblical topics such as wisdom, justice, humility, hope, obedience, salvation, courage, community, repentance, and peace. With vivid imagery and thought-provoking content, "Holy Contradictions" offers a unique and enriching exploration of how these divine contradictions shape our faith and everyday lives.

We get it – some folks see irony as the devil's plaything. But think of quoting common prejudices as just a sneaky way to spark interest in God's Word. After all, even the smallest of sins can sometimes serve a higher purpose. Remember Joseph's story in Genesis 50:20: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
