Why Did Jesus Intentionally Confuse People?

Ever read something Jesus said and thought… wait, was that supposed to make sense? One young listener asks why Jesus seemed to intentionally confuse people in Mark 4, and it turns out she's stumbled onto one of the hardest passages in the Gospels. Kaitlyn and Mike dig into the parable of the sower, Jesus' surprising quote from Isaiah, and whether God actually wants some people not to understand. They also wrestle with a tension many of us feel: why doesn't God just make everything clearer? The answer has less to do with intelligence and more to do with relationship, trust, and timing.
