This week, the guys talk a lot about finding things. Evan kicked off the topic by finding a couple of disc golf discs on the course, but one of them had someone's contact info on it, while the others were fair game. So, did he give the disc back? And what would you or Josh do?! The guys talk about what could happen if you found something more important, like a phone or wallet, and they get into how they'd handle the situations. They also dive into how to even find the owner if you find a phone, and Chat GPT might have some helpful tips to go along with Josh's sneaky, pro-level sleuthing techniques! Along with other good conversation, there's also Fact of the Week, "sticking it to the man," and This Day in Hear-story tidbits for your listening pleasure.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Father Dave reflects on today's familiar Gospel story of the Good Samaritan. Rather than figure out who our neighbor is, our challenge is to show kindness and compassion to everyone we encounter. Preached at St. Paul the Apostle Church, New York City, NY on 7-13-25

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into Parshas Re'eh, the fourth portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, emphasizing its profound inspiration and guidance for living as God's chosen people. Focusing on Deuteronomy 13:5, Rabbi Wolbe highlights the verse's commands to follow Hashem, fear Him, observe His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him. Quoting Rashi, he explains that “clinging to Hashem” means emulating His ways through acts of loving-kindness, such as visiting the sick (Bikur Cholim), burying the deceased, and comforting mourners, as God did for Abraham and Moses. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that these acts must be performed with the same heartfelt sensitivity and dignity as God's actions, not for personal gain but out of reverence for Hashem. He shares a story of a rabbi refusing a Bikur Cholim visit, noting that true visitation involves genuine care for the individual's needs, not just fulfilling a mitzvah.Rabbi Wolbe also recounts personal experiences benefiting from Satmar Bikur Cholim's remarkable support in hospitals like Good Samaritan, Hackensack, and Montefiore, where they provide food, accommodations, and even emotional care, such as gifting a wig to a mother in distress. A guest, Mr. Schwartz from Satmar Bikur Cholim, joins to describe their 75-year commitment to serving 18 hospitals daily with a $3.5 million budget funded by donations, never turning anyone away regardless of background. He shares how their services, including kosher kitchens and Shabbos accommodations, ease the burdens of patients and families, and appeals for support during the Elul campaign. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that emulating God goes beyond actions to include the manner—loving, thoughtful, and selfless—as seen when God waited for Abraham to serve passersby, prioritizing human kindness (Ben Adam L'Chavero) before divine service (Ben Adam L'Makom). He concludes by urging listeners to perform mitzvot with divine sensitivity and to support Bikur Cholim, wishing all a Shabbos filled with meaningful connection to Hashem._____________This episode (Ep 7.43) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Re'eh is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on August 25, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 27, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Parables are a significant part of Jesus's teaching. These brilliant stories paint a picture of life in the kingdom, teaching us about God, ourselves, and the Lord's presence and activity in the world. But they are not easy. Rather than give us simple platitudes and truisms, Jesus challenges us with parables. They are intended to draw us in. Jesus wants us to wrestle with them, to walk around with, meditate and have conversations about them. In this series, we will dig into the context of parables from Luke's Gospel. We will consider the picture Jesus is painting of God's kingdom, and we will engage these stories through the spiritual practice of visio divina (with some original art from our community). This week, we contemplated the Good Samaritan. Nicole invited us to consider how inheriting eternal life is not a transactional box to check, but an ongoing invitation to love.  We practiced visio divina together with this painting.

When Jesus taught, He often used stories—parables that cut through confusion and spoke directly to the heart. From the Good Samaritan to the unforgiving servant, the lost sheep to the pearl of great price, His stories carried Kingdom truths that people could not only understand but feel.Among all of His parables, one of the most powerful is the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15. It's a story of rebellion, brokenness, humility, and ultimately the overwhelming grace of a Father who runs to meet His wandering child.This message, When We Wander, reminds us that:All forms of rebellion—whether open or hidden—lead us away from the Father.A heart of repentance and humility opens the door to restoration.The Father is always waiting with open arms.No matter how far you feel from God, there is hope. There is a way home. And when you return, you'll discover His love and mercy in ways that will change your life forever.

One of the challenges of applying Jesus's teaching to our modern lives (such as trying to negotiate pain that comes from people we love) is that we struggle with who we are in his stories. We will investigate the Parable of the Good Samaritan, considering the possibility that for once, we are not the hero in the story.

Do you stand up for what you believe in? Or do you go along to get along? What do you think about the pandemic? Did Daniel Penny do the right thing, or does he belong in prison? What do you think about the parable of the Good Samaritan? What about the Stanford Prison Experiment, and the case of Kitty Genovese? We all like to think we'll answer the call when it comes, but how do you know? George G digs into the psychology behind taking action versus being a passive observer!

Daily Dose of Hope August 22, 2025   Scripture – Luke 10:25-42   Prayer:  Lord, How we need you.  Thank you for your presence, thank you for the way you continue to pursue us.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Happy Friday!  Today, we dive into the second half of Luke 10.   The first portion of today's reading is the parable of the Good Samaritan.  The story begins with an expert in religious law asking Jesus, “What should I do to inherit eternal life?” It's possible this lawyer/religious academic type is actually trying to trap Jesus.  These guys tended to think Jesus had a low regard for Law. But this man didn't realize that Jesus was actually smarter than him. Jesus answers, “What does the law say?” As you know, the Old Testament law is really long and rather than just starting to read the whole law in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, it was not uncommon to summarize it with two precepts: ·      Deut. 6:5 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with your soul and with all your strength.” ·      Lev. 19:18 says, “...love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.”   Now, these are really, really hard principles.  The law expert, a smart man, would have known there was really no way for him to obey this law on his own. But he wanted to justify himself.  He wanted to keep trying to find a way that he could obey the law in his own power, so he asks Jesus, “Well, who is my neighbor?”  And, as we know, Jesus uses this opportunity to share a parable.    He says that a man was traveling on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Now, the first thing we need to understand about this road is that it was really, really dangerous. Think more dangerous than Nebraska Ave. at midnight. But there weren't a whole lot of options so people did it. Now part of what made the road so dangerous was its geography. It was 17 miles long and drops 3,000 ft. during those 17 miles. The geography also lended itself to lots of caves and nooks where bands of thieves and robbers could hang out and just wait for their next victim.   What's kind of interesting here is that Jesus does not give us a lot of information about the man who is traveling. The people Jesus was speaking to would probably automatically assume the man was a Jew like them. What we do know is that he was beaten, stripped, is probably unconscious, beaten, bloodied, and is unidentifiable. The guy was left for dead.   Now, the first man that walks by this poor guy, lying half-dead on the road, is a priest, a man of God. The Scripture says that “he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by.” Then a temple assistant, a Levite, walked by. This time, we are given information that he looked at the man lying there, but he also decided to walk to the other side and pass the dying man without providing any help.   Next comes a Samaritan man. Many of you know that the Samaritans were despised by the Jews. 800 years before Jesus, the Northern Kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians. What the Assyrians did was disperse the Jews living there and sent groups of pagan peoples to settle in the area. The result was a lot of intermarrying between the Jews and these other people groups. So, the “purer” Jews, from the Southern Kingdom, considered the Samaritans half-breeds and looked on them with extreme contempt. In fact, the relationship between the Jews and Samaritans could probably best be described by the relationship between Jews and Palestinians – conflict, violence, and hatred.   The Samaritan finds the man half-dead along the road and he decides to care for him. He treats the man's wounds, puts him on a donkey, and carries him off to an inn. He pays for his care and makes sure that he is nursed back to health. He offers over the top kindness, the kind that is never expected and never could be repaid.   Okay, let's start with the most obvious questions.  Why did the priest and Levite walk by the dying man?  Why did the neglect someone who was obviously suffering?  Well, it would have made them ritually unclean to come into contact with blood.  They were afraid of that.  They would have found it time-consuming and maybe even embarrassing to arrive at the Temple and say, “Hey, guys, I'm unclean, can't do my work today.”    There was also the fear of physical harm (are the guys who robbed him still around?) and the reality of inconvenience.  All of these are excuses that could have been overcome and dealt with but they weren't willing to do it.   The Samaritan man could have been plagued by the same fears. He could have been attacked, he dealt with inconvenience, he gave sacrificially in order to save this man's life. But he did it anyway.  And that is what we are called to do.  What does it mean to be a neighbor?  It means being like this Samaritan.  It means dealing with the mess, the risk, and the inconvenience to show love and mercy to another person.   The last portion of today's reading is the story of Mary and Martha.  I think we often misunderstand this story. Afterall, the problem with Martha is not that she is busy serving and providing hospitality. Certainly, Jesus commends this kind of service to neighbor many times, notably in the parable of the Good Samaritan that we just read. The problem with Martha is not her serving, but rather that she is worried and distracted. She is fluttering about, messing with the food preparations, legitimately more concerned with finishing dinner than anything else.   Martha's distraction and worry leave no room for the most important aspect of hospitality--gracious attention to the guest. In fact, she breaks all the rules of hospitality by trying to embarrass her sister in front of her guest and by asking her guest to intervene in a family dispute. She even goes so far as to accuse Jesus of not caring about her (Lord, do you not care...?). Martha's worry and distraction prevent her from being truly present with Jesus. She has missed out on the “one thing needed” for true hospitality: listening to your guest (especially if the guest is Jesus!) Jesus says that Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.   Jesus' words to Martha may be seen as an invitation rather than a rebuke. Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; there is need of only one thing. The one thing needed is for Martha to receive the gracious presence of Jesus, to listen to his words, to know that she is valued not for what she does or how well she does it, but for who she is as a child of God.   In a culture of hustle and bustle and over-scheduling, we are tempted to measure our worth by how busy we are, by how much we accomplish, or by how well we meet the expectations of others. We are often Marthas, thinking the busier we are, the more productive we must be. But being distracted and worried often gets in the way of our spiritual walk. Being distracted and worried gets in the way of us listening to Jesus.   When is the last time you sat at the feet of Jesus and simply listened to him? How often do you set aside time to just be still before God? Even Jesus himself made time, in the midst of a very busy schedule, to be alone with God. We know that God calls us to be listeners of his Word and doers of the Word. But how often do we participate in activities without really soaking up God first? When we do that, we are bound to serve without joy, with pride, for the wrong reasons.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Today we will learn that Jesus was a fantastic storyteller. Parents, want to keep talking? Here are some ideas:Ask: Tell me about your favorite story. What is your favorite Bible story? Can you tell me about some of the stories Jesus told? (The Good Samaritan, the Prodigal Son) (ages 2-5)One of the coolest things Jesus did was walk on water. What do you think that would be like? Peter tried to walk on water but took his eyes off Jesus and went for a swim instead. What's your favorite part about swimming? (ages 6-10)When Jesus fed the 5,000 people, do you find it interesting that there were 12 baskets of leftover food? Why didn't Jesus make just enough food for everybody? What do you think the little boy thought when he gave up his lunch? Do you think he had any idea that Jesus was going to use it to feed everybody? What does this miracle teach you about God's power? (ages 11-12)One last thing! This week April asked, “What is something that you have LEARNED about God?”. Simply record a voice memo and send it in a text to 636-280-5433.

Good Samaritan 好撒馬利亞人。這句有名的英文成語，可別直譯成「樂善好施的人」，這樣，就淺囉！＊＊＊路加福音 10:25-37有一個律法師起來試探耶穌，說：夫子！我該做什麼才可以承受永生？耶穌對他說：律法上寫的是什麼？你念的是怎樣呢？他回答說：你要盡心、盡性、盡力、盡意愛主─你的神；又要愛鄰舍如同自己。耶穌說：你回答的是；你這樣行，就必得永生。那人要顯明自己有理，就對耶穌說：誰是我的鄰舍呢？耶穌回答說：有一個人從耶路撒冷下耶利哥去，落在強盜手中。他們剝去他的衣裳，把他打個半死，就丟下他走了。偶然有一個祭司從這條路下來，看見他就從那邊過去了。又有一個利未人來到這地方，看見他，也照樣從那邊過去了。惟有一個撒瑪利亞人行路來到那裡，看見他就動了慈心，上前用油和酒倒在他的傷處，包裹好了，扶他騎上自己的牲口，帶到店裡去照應他。第二天拿出二錢銀子來，交給店主，說：你且照應他；此外所費用的，我回來必還你。你想，這三個人哪一個是落在強盜手中的鄰舍呢？他說：是憐憫他的。耶穌說：你去照樣行吧。

In this episode we speak with Bert Adema, Executive Director of Indigenous Christian Fellowship in Regina, Saskatchewan. Bert shares about 32 years of ministry, fostering a vibrant community by addressing spiritual and social needs. He emphasizes an incarnational approach, tackling the "messiness" of the world and advocating for right relations, not just reconciliation. Bert also reflects on finding hope and abundance amidst scarcity, powered by prayer, community, and trusting God's provision."If you're sitting there and you have no hope at all, you're really, really in a difficult situation. I think prayer is really, really important. And then when we pray in community... we say, 'What can we do together?'"Links:Indigenous Christian Fellowship: https://icfregina.ca/home CRC's Indigenous Ministry: https://www.crcna.org/indigenousTranscript: https://www.crcna.org/do-justice/bert-adema-gifts-gardens-and-good-samaritans

Stories have a way of sticking with us. As a master teacher and storyteller, Jesus didn't just spin tales, He told parables: short, simple stories that invited listeners into deeper truth.This summer, we're diving into the parables of Jesus. Stories about seeds and soil, lost coins and prodigal sons, hidden treasures and unexpected guests. These are more than just ancient tales; they are windows into the heart of God and mirrors that help us reflect his image and love more clearly.Sermon by Pastor Scott Edinger and Rwanda Team

In Week 2 of our series Love Language: What God Says About Relationships, Pastor Scott Worthington shared from Luke 10:25-37—the story of the Good Samaritan. God commands us to love our neighbor as ourselves. From this story, we learned that before we can love our neighbor like the Good Samaritan did, we must first see that Jesus is the true Good Samaritan—and we are the wounded man who was cared for. We also discovered who our neighbor truly is and how we can love them. Check out this sermon to learn more!

In this episode, we explore the profound difference between empathy and compassion through the timeless lens of the Good Samaritan. We unpack how empathy—truly feeling another's pain—can become the spark that moves us toward compassion, which is love in action. But we also sound a cautionary note: empathy without healthy boundaries can turn toxic, leaving us overwhelmed, burnt out, or even numb to suffering. Using the Samaritan's example, we discuss how to channel empathy into meaningful, restorative action while guarding against emotional fatigue that can lead to apathy. Whether you're a caregiver, leader, or simply someone who wants to love others well, this conversation will help you cultivate a heart that feels deeply and acts wisely.

The week school starts back often marks a return to the familiar pace of “normal life,” even for those without school-aged kids. Vacations wind down, morning traffic picks up, and we all begin settling back into our routines. For some, that shift feels like a bit of a letdown; for others, it can be a relief.Wherever you find yourself, relieved or reluctant, I can't wait to see you this Sunday as we gather as a church family to worship, pray, and hear from God's Word. It's one of my favorite weekly rhythms.This Sunday, we continued our series, Stories and the Storyteller, with the Parable of the Good Samaritan. This well-known story of a Samaritan who generously helps a stranger in need is so familiar that the word “Samaritan” has become shorthand for someone who shows compassion. We often hear it as a gentle nudge toward kindness to others.But for Jesus's original audience, the story was anything but gentle. It was radical, culturally provocative and deeply challenging. The hero of the story was someone they would have instinctively viewed with contempt, not admiration.

The One Who Passed The Test: Good Samaritan Part 2: Luke 10:30-37 w/Darren Tyler

In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke's, Pastor Jenn continues the Change Makers series by exploring the parable of the Good Samaritan through a fresh lens. She challenges us to shift from passive belief to active discipleship—starting right where we are. Drawing on scripture, historical context, and insights from theologians, Pastor Jenn reminds us that mercy is more than a feeling—it's a costly, boundary-breaking action rooted in love. Just as the Samaritan came near, risking comfort and safety to care for a stranger, we too are called to see those in need right in front of us and act with compassion, regardless of differences. True change, she says, begins when we let mercy—not fear or prejudice—define our faith and choose to be a neighbor to those God places in our path.   Download the free Change Makers series guide at st.lukes.org/changemakers   Find a new small group at st.lukes.org/adults

The Good Samaritan. Billy Graham Classic Sermon. ACU Sunday Series. When no one else would stop to help the man beaten by robbers, the Good Samaritan had pity on him (Luke 10:33). In the same way, Jesus shows us mercy and promises to care for us in our time of need. “He sees you as an individual,” Billy Graham said. Hear about the profound love of Christ for you in this 1979 sermon from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
