The Folly's End Podcast 2026 - The Life Of Jesus - 05 - The Parable Of The Sower - The Solutions to the Thorny Ground

In this episode, Gareth and Jessi continue exploring the meaning of “the thorny ground” describing people that understand God’s Word and let it take root, but allow it’s growth to be choked by everyday tasks, the need for wealth, and other distractions.
