Episode 380: Leading with Grace in a Critical World
Manage episode 508070936 series 2307940
In this week’s episode of the Transforming Mission Podcast, Tim and Sara dive back into Luke 15:11–32, the parable most of us call “The Prodigal Son,” but Tim calls “The Running Father.” Together they talk about what it really means to lead with grace in a critical world.
As they unpack the story, you’ll hear why grace moves first, why it costs something, and how it keeps the way home open for people who’ve wandered off. You’ll also discover the trap of the older brother’s resentment — and why fairness isn’t God’s metric — plus why celebration itself is an act of grace. If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unappreciated, or caught in score-keeping leadership, this conversation will remind you: unworthy never means worthless.
Join Tim and Sara for a hopeful, honest look at how leaders can absorb the cost, resist resentment, and throw a party when grace shows up.
