As we come to the conclusion of Jesus’ parabolic teaching in Matthew 13, we are forced to ask the question: what now? What do we do with all of these mysteries, this information that has been revealed? Thankfully, Jesus didn’t leave his disciples hanging, and he doesn’t leave us either. Instead, keeping to form, he tells them a parable about what to do with what they’ve received. And by extension, 2000 years later, we have a similar task: to share what we’ve learned about Christ and his coming kingdom.
Join with Josiah and Andrew as they discuss this task and how evaluate our knowledge, grow in our knowledge, and ultimately share that knowledge.

Josiah has served the Oakridge Bible Chapel family as one of its elders and one of its pastoral staff members since September 2018, before which he ministered as an associate pastor to a local congregation in the Canadian prairies. Josiah's desire is to be used by God to help equip the church for ministry, both while gathered (edification) and while scattered (evangelization). He is married to Patricia, and together they have five children—Jonah, Henry, Nathaniel, Josephine, and Benjamin.
Andrew is the Associate Pastor at Oakridge Bible Chapel. He grew up in a Christian home, and spent time serving in churches of varying sizes and denominations before landing at Oakridge with his wife in 2017. He likes to verbally process theological issues he finds challenging and is always ready to learn something new. He has a passion for teaching the Bible, and seeking to explain confusing passages in a clear way, preferably with a good illustration or two.
