One of the most interesting and prophetic parables uttered by Jesus Christ is that of the wheat and the tares. In this powerful parable, found in Matthew 13, Jesus Christ reveals the mystery of the Kingdom of God to His disciples.

The disciples were so intrigued by this parable that they privately requested that Christ reveal its interpretation to them.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.

Hosted by the True Riches Academy, The Gospel Of Peace offers a space for deep conversation about a Christianity centered on radical, nonviolent love. This isn't about rehearsing familiar doctrines; it's an invitation to grapple with the challenging teachings of Jesus, particularly around violence, conflict, and what it means to truly love an enemy. Each episode, whether a teaching, a personal reflection, or a guest interview, pushes against conventional views on war and power, proposing a transformative path rooted in the peace of Christ. The dialogue is for anyone-believer, skeptic, or simply the curious-who feels that faith must offer more than passive agreement or cultural endorsement. By engaging with scripture and its practical implications in a broken world, this podcast seeks to reframe discipleship as an active, courageous pursuit of reconciliation. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that don't shy away from complexity, aiming to equip and inspire a more faithful, peaceful way of living.
