So, Sean, I set you up to tell about the sower's secret and the parable of the sower.
10:38
Yeah, so the series is, like Brock said, it's a series where the parables of Jesus literally come to life in this small town.
10:46
So you have this small town where all of a sudden there are vines growing everywhere, just like in the parable of the sower, where there's the plants, the seeds are planted, and vines grow up around these plants.
10:55
And then there's also the rocks growing.
10:56
Just like in the parable of the sower, there's this soil with the rocks, and then there's these birds that come flying into town.
11:03
Just like in the parable, the birds come and eat up all the seeds.
11:06
And so we have all these elements from the parable are literally coming to life in the town, and the kids in the town are having to figure out what is happening.

So something I always ask all of our guests on the show, I would love to know how this book can help our boys to become strong, courageous warriors for God's kingdom.

Hey Sean, what's the whole set up like for you and the other overseas players over there at Kubota? Do you all live in the same apartment building? Are you all in the same house? Do you all get given a car to rock around in? How's the set up logistically from the club?
3:01
Yeah, mate, it's actually pretty awesome up here, I'm not going to lie.
3:05
Everyone gets their own apartment.
3:08
So whether you've got a family or you're single, everyone gets their own apartment with at least two or three bedrooms, depending on how big of a family you've got, I guess.
3:17
But yeah, the club definitely look after the boys over here.
3:21
Yeah, I guess... um some some companies um well i guess some clubs um you know a car dealers like twitter and mitsubishi i'm sure they get cars but um haven't got a digger yet from kubota yet which is uh hopefully hopefully after this weekend i might be able to swing that if that's if i get the if we get the dub but um yeah no we're very lucky mate like um yeah all the boys are in the same area um you know about 25 minutes from our base but In terms of all the foreigners living in a similar area, it's really good.
3:53
I guess we're able to connect outside of footy.

But you've been out and getting stuck into things on that front, mate? You enjoying the off-field side of stuff?
1:17
Wow

...
1:17
but it's a lot of fun.
1:18
So I've worked with kids from zero to fifth grade.
1:21
I was a youth pastor for a minute, too, but I've always loved to write.
1:24
And so Brock and I became friends, and maybe we'll get to that story at some point here of how we became friends.
1:30
But we became friends, and we've always talked about, "We should write something together." And so we were talking about different things, and one of the things that was interesting to us was...
1:59
[laughs] Love it
