    When The Kingdom Seems Unimpressive Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2025
     | 195 views

    The parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the yeast point us to a truth that's uncomfortable at first: the Kingdom might not look that impressive the first time you look at it.
