Five minutes in Luke 8:26–39 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

He led them straight into the storm. And then He fell asleep. In today's episode, the disciples face a violent squall on the lake — and Jesus wakes up, speaks once, and everything goes calm.

Jesus told a story about a farmer scattering seed, but He was really telling a story about us. Four types of soil. Four conditions of the heart.
