UTOT S2E15 — Come Out of Her: When Allegiance Looks Like Resistance

This one might just shake the foundations.

This week on Under the Oak Tree, Justin and Wendy pull apart one of the most misunderstood teachings in church history: The Parable of the Talents.

Was Jesus really describing God as a harsh master demanding returns—or was He calling out a corrupt empire?

In this explosive episode, we unpack:
•The true historical backdrop of the parable
•Why Archelaus—not God—may be the real “master”
•How the third servant might actually be the hero
•What it means to refuse the system and stay loyal to the true King
•Why the modern church has preached this totally backwards

If you’ve ever felt the crushing weight of religious performance… this episode is your invitation to bury the gold and come out of Babylon.

Allegiance over ambition. Kingdom over hustle. Faithfulness over fruitfulness.

The King is coming—whose system are you serving?
