In this episode, we continue our parable series by exploring the lost sheep and the lost coin in Luke 15, two short but powerful stories that reveal God’s heart for seeking the lost and the joy that comes when they're found. We reflect on how Jesus uses ordinary experiences to invite us into kingdom truths, challenging us to take initiative with our neighbors, especially those on the margins. Through personal stories, honest wrestlings, and practical takeaways, we’re reminded that neighboring isn’t just about strategy, it’s about sharing God’s joy, celebrating small wins, and joining Him in the search.
