🍷 New Episode Alert! 🍷

Is Christianity fair? Or does Jesus operate in a way that challenges everything we think about justice and grace? In this episode of Cabernet and Pray, we dive into one of Jesus’ most radical parables—where workers in a vineyard get paid the same, no matter how long they worked. 🤯

Join me as we unpack what this means for our faith, our sense of fairness, and how we respond when God’s generosity extends to those we think don’t deserve it.
