Do yourself a favor before reading any more of this: Listen to the Road To Joy now!What if the spark that powers great rituals, great sermons, and great shows is the same playful force? Captain Frodo sits down with Clay Hillman to follow that thread—from the shaman's circle to the market square—and ask how joy, surprise, and sacrifice can teach us to love without the cage of judgment. The claim is bold: ritual likely grew out of play, and when we honor that, truth arrives with fewer words and more presence.We explore grief as the felt weight of love, the paradox at the heart of Good Friday, and why beauty includes the costly and the raw. Clay reframes the Good Samaritan so we stop imagining ourselves as the rescuer and recognize our place in the ditch; neighbor becomes the person we'd want to lift us, even an enemy. That shift replaces right-versus-wrong scorekeeping with a practice of attention, the same practice that makes a show land when a moment of surprise cracks the shell and breathes. Along the way, we talk mythic truth over literalism, how children signal play and still know what matters, and why wigs, robes, and ritual dances appear when stakes are highest.We also swap creative maps. Clay's Casey Bonkers universe offers constellations of play; Frodo sketches thinking, feeling, and willing as a triad for building fuller acts. Symbols do the heavy lifting: two sticks can hold a cosmos, a market square becomes a universe once the showman starts. Stories that aren't “real” still become true every day, and the best work often feels discovered rather than made. If you've ever sensed that ministry and showmanship share a calling—curating time and attention so people glimpse the center—this conversation will feel like finding language for what you already knew.Listen to K.

Branch Lotspeich is co-founder and Director of the Rescue Tube Foundation, a non-profit based on Kauai, Hawaii, whose mission is to save lives. Is there a more important purpose for an organization? I don't think so. If you've spent time on the Hawaiian islands, there is a good chance that you've seen, or been in close proximity to a Rescue Tube. Hopefully you've not needed to use one or be saved by one; but that's what they are there for… and that's exactly what they do. Hundreds of these “public access rescue devices” are strategically placed on beaches around the islands (and on the mainland) where there are typically no lifeguards. These Rescue Tubes provide a safe and effective way for a family or community member or any Good Samaritan to save lives when professional lifeguards are not present. Countless rescues have been made with these tubes, and dozens of lives have been saved with their assistance; and no rescuers have been hurt in the process while employing a rescue tube on a rescue. Amazing. Branch tells his story and how he was compelled to jump in deep with the Rescue Tubes and ultimately co-found the Foundation many years ago. Incredible safety statistics have driven significant awareness, accolades and recognition; and it is not slowing down. Branch's legacy and that of the Rescue Tube Foundation will continue to save lives across the Hawaiian Islands and well beyond. Hallelujah.

From her hospital bed, Marie Coble lit up when she saw the delivery driver whose help had likely saved her life. She’d fallen in her driveway and hit her head, causing a brain bleed. Seeing her injury, Raheem Cooper helped her while calling paramedics. Invited by family to visit her in the hospital, Raheem often brings sweet treats she enjoys to assist her recovery. Their story brings to mind the parable of the Good Samaritan. The parable is Jesus’ reply to an expert’s question on what he must do to inherit eternal life. Do “what is written in the law,” Jesus said (Luke 10:26), including “love your neighbor as yourself” (v. 27). But the expert persisted, asking, “Who is my neighbor?” (v. 29). Christ’s answer describes a man attacked by robbers, left half dead, and then ignored by two people—a priest and a Levite—who passed him by. “But a Samaritan . . . took pity on him” (v. 33), bandaged his wounds, and took care of him. Seeing the hurting man in need, the Samaritan’s help was active, urgent, and without bias—looking past race or creed to assist someone he could’ve ignored. Thus, Jesus asked, which of these three was a neighbor to the man? “The one who had mercy on him,” the expert said. Said Jesus, “Go and do likewise” (v. 37). In Christ, we too can find the compassion to help a hurting person instead of passing by. It’s a lesson for all in sharing Jesus’ love.

In today's culture we once again find the idea of being merciful or offering mercy to be politicized and considered a weakness - the same was true in the 1st Century during the life of Jesus Christ. That is one of the reasons that the "Good Samaritan"s " actions in the parable in Luke 10 are considered controversial. It was much easier then and now to stay disengaged and not get involved. To rationalize in our mind that "they got what was coming" or maybe even "better them than me", but Jesus turned that idea on its head by calling his followers to be merciful not because someone deserves it but simply because if we are truly his followers we have been offered so much mercy from God that we can't help but show mercy to those around us.

A single thing you do today can affect dozens of people, or even hundreds. This is the ripple effect, and it started with the Christmas story.In this message from our "Go Tell It" Advent series, discover how the shepherds' response to Jesus's birth created a ripple that continues today. Through the timeless parable of the Good Samaritan, we explore what Jesus really means when He calls us to love our neighbors—and why it's about being, not just knowing.In This Episode:The shepherds' unstoppable response to good newsWhy Jesus told the Good Samaritan storyThe difference between compassion and actionSimple acts that create powerful ripplesWhy we need a Savior to love perfectlyChrist's higher command: love as He lovedKey Scriptures: Luke 2:8-20, Luke 10:25-37, John 4:39, John 13:34Show Notes:The Christmas story has a ripple effect, starting with shepherds who couldn't keep the good news to themselves. After encountering Jesus, they spread the word throughout their neighborhoods. They didn't need a program or training—they just shared what they had seen and heard.Jesus teaches us through the Good Samaritan that being a neighbor isn't about proximity or knowing who lives next door. It's about who we are and how we engage with those we encounter. The Samaritan didn't just feel compassion—he acted, investing his time, money, and energy to help someone suffering.The ripple effect of Christmas occurs when the good news of great joy is proclaimed and when we're neighborly enough to engage with people around us instead of just driving by.Simple Ways to Create Ripples:Pay someone a complimentComfort someone having a rough dayVisit a sick friendCall someone you haven't spoken with in a whileExpress sincere gratitudeThe foundation of it all? If we could love perfectly, we would be perfect. Since we can't, we need a Savior. That's why the angel's message is such good news: "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you" (Luke 2:11).Loving your neighbor as yourself has been elevated to an even higher command: "As I have loved you, so must you love one another" (John 13:34).Next Steps:Identify one person you can be a neighbor to this weekPerform one simple act of kindness that creates a rippleShare the good news of Jesus with someone in your lifeConnect with Grand Point Church: Website: www.grandpoint.church Instagram: @grandpointchurch Facebook: /grandpointchurch YouTube: Grand Point ChurchConnect with us at www.grandpoint.church/nextstepsWatch online on YouTubeFollow us on Facebook and InstagramSign up for our free weekly newsletter

DOWNLOAD KEYNOTE SLIDES In this message, Pastor Bryan Hudson teaches that while Jesus is indeed our personal Savior, God's redemptive design is far greater than individual salvation. From Romans 8:29 and Colossians 1:19–20, he shows that God predestined believers to be conformed to Christ, forming a collective people—His church—through whom He reconciles and influences the world. Salvation is not merely personal but part of God's broader plan to redeem humanity and creation. Dr. Hudson contrasts man-made design, shaped by sin and selfishness, with God-made design, in which believers are God's workmanship created for good works. He emphasizes that destiny is expressed through service, not self-service, and warns against reducing Christianity to private spirituality or political power. God calls His people to be “salt and light,” influencing systems with righteousness—not taking them over. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan, he explains that we do not choose our neighbors; love requires us to serve anyone in need, even those unlike us. Jesus transforms “neighbor” from a category into a calling. The sermon also traces the biblical design of redemption from Genesis, showing how Jesus—the “last Adam”—undoes the failure of the first Adam and restores humanity. Dr. Hudson concludes that believers “reign in life” (Romans 5:17) not as earthly rulers but through the shared authority and life of Christ. Salvation is personal, but not for personal ends. God's destiny for us is collective: a chosen, royal, holy people who fulfill His purposes together.

In preparation for Christmas, Lisa dives into themes of mission, mercy, and devotion, encouraging listeners to reflect deeply on the scriptures and embrace the heart of Jesus in both action and stillness.The episode opens with Jesus sending out the seventy-two disciples, emphasizing trust, spiritual authority, and the urgency of the kingdom mission. Lisa highlights the significance of Jesus' instructions, the spiritual victory over darkness, and the reminder that our joy should not be rooted in power but in our eternal identity: our names written in heaven.She then unpacks the enduring parable of the Good Samaritan, showing how love surpasses cultural barriers and religious expectations. Lisa emphasizes that compassion requires interruption, mercy demands action, and neighborly love reflects the heart of God. The episode concludes with the story of Mary and Martha, pointing listeners to Jesus' invitation to sit at His feet—reminding us that intimacy with Him comes before activity for Him.

When Jesus walks into a room, He can instantly see what's out of place. In Matthew 21:10–13, He steps into the temple and recognizes that the people had lost what mattered most: prayer, purpose, and usefulness. What looked fine to everyone else was completely misaligned to the One who actually owns the house.This message challenges us to pause and ask:Am I being found useful in God's house?Have things shifted in my life that He never intended to move?God isn't looking for perfection, He's looking for people who will be available, servant-hearted, and willing to be used. And even when we feel like “just dirt,” God specializes in taking what seems ordinary or overlooked and forming it into something with eternal value.In this message you'll learn:- Uselessness is more dangerous than failure—God can forgive failure, but He can't use what refuses to be used- Every gift, resource, and opportunity God gives is meant to bless others- God can take the “dirt” of our lives and turn it into a miracleScriptures:- Matthew 21:10-13 - Jesus cleanses the temple- Luke 10 — The Good Samaritan as a picture of true usefulness- John 8 & John 9 — God moving “dirt” to redeem, heal, and make lives useful again

The Epistle of James is particularly remembered for its message about faith.  Faith is a vital factor in our salvation, but the genuineness of our faith is shown in what it causes us to do. James writes, “If you really fulfil the royal law according to scripture, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself,' you are doing well.” [2 v.8]  It surprises some to realize that this “royal law” is not one of the ten commandments, yet when Jesus was asked by a lawyer, “Teacher which is the great commandment in the Law? … he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And the second is like it:  You shall love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets.” [Matt. 22 v.36-40] Do you realize when Moses wrote this commandment? Jesus was quoting from Leviticus 19 v.18; it was one they only applied when it suited them!  Recall the parable of the Good Samaritan that he told to answer the question, “Who is my neighbour?' So James presses home the point, “What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”[v.14-17]In verse 12 James told his readers to “act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty” – what did he mean?  He had already made the point in Ch.1 v.25 that “the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing”   The point is, they have been liberated, given freedom, from keeping the letter of the Mosaic Law – they now had to keep “the perfect law” that Jesus had spelt out in answering the lawyer. The chapter concludes with examples from the lives of Abraham and Rahab who showed their faith by what they did.   The last verse makes the point, “For as the body apart from the spirit (breath) is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.”

Good morning, This week, Wendy Dalrymple, Canon Pastor at Ripon Cathedral, shared on social media her experience of being in an abusive relationship when she was young. Like many other women who face violence at the hands of men they know, she was locked in a cycle of abuse, followed by remorse, followed by forgiveness, followed by more abuse. The relationship only ended when her then boyfriend assaulted her in a public place and onlookers intervened, telling him to stop, and calling the police. We're in the middle of the UN's 16 Days of Activism to end gender-based violence, which highlights the bleak reality that one in three women experience some sort of abuse in their lifetime. To raise awareness, Ripon Cathedral's Leave Her Alone exhibition showcases art created by male prisoners, many of whom have been perpetrators of violence against women. It hopes to encourage all to speak out, drawing on the words of Jesus who told his disciples to leave the woman who anointed his feet alone. But speaking out – intervening when we know or see someone is being abused - is easier said than done. Our instincts may push us towards self-protection and self-preservation. This week, Farah Naz, the aunt of murdered law graduate Zara Aleena called for a new law that would require bystanders to step in when they see people in danger. Her calls followed the publication of a report by Lady Elish Angiolini into the prevention of sexually motivated crimes against women in public. Among the recommendations – which come four years after the rape and murder of Sarah Everard – was one suggesting the government implement a so-called Good Samaritan law. Speaking on the Today programme earlier this week, she said such a law, requiring people to step in if they can reasonably help someone in danger, would create a culture change, and encourage us all to see the safety of women in public as a “whole society action”. Whether or not a Good Samaritan law will or even could be implemented is one thing, but I think a society in which we notice and try to help others in need, even against our own interests, is the kind of idea at the heart of the Christian story. Drawing on the parable of the Good Samaritan, Martin Luther King – in a speech the day before he was killed – pointed out that it's reasonable to ask when confronted with another in need: “If I stop to help… what will happen to me?” But for King, the motivating question for the Good Samaritan is instead: “If I don't stop to help this person, what will happen to them [him]?” Perhaps this motivating question can help us to recognise that – when it comes to the scourge of violence against women in our societies – we are all our sisters' keepers.

Send us a textWhat if “fairness” isn't the lens that makes sense of suffering? We dive into Job 6 with a hard but hopeful look at grief, sovereignty, and the surprising failure of well-meaning counsel. From the opening moments, we name the tension most of us feel but rarely admit: pain can be undeserved and still be held by a just and holy God. That tension doesn't shrink faith; it matures it.We walk through Job's first response to Eliphaz and surface the patterns that still shape our churches and friendships today. Job refuses to suppress his grief, and that honesty becomes a model for faithful lament. He does not indict God; he names sorrow. Along the way, we examine why his friends' theology went wrong—not because doctrine doesn't matter, but because compassion must come before conclusions. Using the Good Samaritan as our guide, we explore what compassion presupposes: a real need, a refusal to interrogate pain before we tend to it, and the courage to show up when we can't fix everything.One of the most arresting insights is Job's willingness to prefer death over regaining lost comforts. It isn't cynicism; it's clarity. “Stuff” never had the power to steady his soul. That realization invites us to reorder our loves, to anchor hope in God rather than outcomes, and to meet the suffering with presence before prescriptions. We also extend grace to Job's friends: they started well by sitting in silence, then veered into judgment when discomfort demanded control. The lesson is simple and demanding—stay soft, stay near, and let truth arrive on the back of empathy.If this conversation helps you see pain, people, and God more clearly, follow the show, share it with someone who needs gentle company, and leave a review so others can find these reflections.

Many people who have looked at the parable of the Good Samaritan have misunderstood its central point. The story isn't primarily about identifying who qualifies as our "neighbor" that we should help, but rather about examining how we function as neighbors to others. When Jesus asks "Which of these three proved to be a neighbor?" He shifts the focus from defining limits on our love to challenging us to embody neighborly love without boundaries. Biblical mercy involves both compassion and action, rooted in God's mercy toward us while we were His enemies. Just as the Samaritan helped his ethnic enemy, Christians are called to show practical love even to those they might consider adversaries.

Loving like Jesus means being moved by compassion to take action. Loving like Jesus means moving out of our comfort zone to show compassion for the vulnerable in our community. God has been Xpanding us to know what it is to love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength… and to love others in the same way. Having Christ-like compassion for the vulnerable and needy will compel us to move out of our comfort zone. When Jesus encountered the Samaritan woman at the well, He showed her such compassion that she was able to change and drink from the “well that never runs dry!” We too must be determined to drink from the right well—not from the well of temporary comfort. Instead drink from the well of evangelism with selfless compassion, the well of passion for Jesus, and the well of seeking God's heart above all.

Each of us knows the pain of submitting our work and receiving a seemingly endless flow of rejections in return. So we thought: why not make this fun?Rat Bag Lit is a brand-new paying publication for short fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry. Rat Bag Lit seeks to publish work that crosses genre and blurs the lines between literary and genre. Weird little stories that keep us up at night, stories that make us laugh, and poetry reflecting the strangest dreams that pop out of your odd little noggin. Bold ideas, tight prose, snappy dialogue, speculative elements. Rat Bag Lit is looking for unique fiction that twists common tropes into something we haven't seen and, hell, maybe something we'll wish we hadn't. That strange little story that you hold close to your heart but has been rejected a billion times, but you keep sending it out because you believe in it, damnit? Yeah. Send us that one. We'll publish all the weird that fits.We open on the first of each month for themed drabbles (100 word stories) and unthemed micros. We expect to open for flash and short stories again in November.

Preached at The Anointing & The Presence Service, Anointed People International 

In Love Like Jesus, Part 3, Pastor Robey Barnes explores Jesus' powerful teaching on loving our neighbor through the parable of the Good Samaritan. Building from real-life stories of crisis, rescue, and compassion, this message challenges us to move beyond simple concern and step into courageous, costly action. Pastor Robey shows how Jesus calls every believer to reflect His mercy, love sacrificially, and engage the needs around them—whether in our neighborhoods, workplaces, or through global mission partners like HHA and Mustard Seed in Jamaica. This sermon invites you to pray boldly, serve intentionally, and embody the transformational love of Jesus in everyday life.

In this message, “Called to Serve: Availability”, Pastor Josh unpacks what it means to live a life that's not just intentional but also interruptible for the sake of others. Service isn't just a task on a church checklist—it's a spiritual practice that forms us into the likeness of Jesus. Walking through Jesus' teaching on the greatest commandment and the parable of the Good Samaritan, we're challenged to stop asking, “Who is my neighbor?” and start asking, “Who can I become a neighbor to?” You'll hear powerful stories—from Jesus stopping for blind men on the roadside to a quiet hospital custodian who secretly cared for the homeless every winter night—that stir our hearts toward “from-the-gut” compassion. This message invites us to examine our spiritual practices, our schedules, and even our reactions under pressure, asking: Do my rhythms with God actually move me toward the hurting, the overlooked, and the strangers on the roadside? Listen in and be encouraged to live on mission in the ordinary: to pull over, to notice, to serve, and to let God use small, hidden acts of love to bring His kingdom close.

Fr. Mike discusses our call to deny ourselves and take up our cross, specifically focusing on God's call to renounce all that is ours and trust in him. He also highlights the story of Mary and Martha and encourages us not to allow the cares of life to choke the life of God out of our lives as Martha allowed her troubles and anxieties to do. Today's readings are from Luke 9-10 and Proverbs 26:4-6. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

It's easy to be kind to our friends. But what about strangers? What about the people who have hurt us? In this sermon, "Who Am I Supposed To Serve?", we're digging into the idea of true hospitality. Using the story of the Good Samaritan, we explore what it looks like to "cross the road" for people who are broken—even when it's inconvenient, costly, or for someone we'd call an "enemy. We all have a "20-foot circle" of influence, and this message is a challenge to use it. After all, people often won't care what we believe until they see how we serve.

(Luke 10:25-37) The parable of the Good Samaritan is one of Christ's most famous teachings. While caring for those who are suffering is an important part of the Christian life in this broken world, the greatest need in every life is spiritual. Every person needs salvation from Sin through Jesus Christ.
