Luke 15 Nick Watts // Executive Pastor of Discipleship

Episode 064 - Solace in the Lost & Found The Influence Every Day Show with Dr. Ed Tori Show Notes Loss changes the rhythm of life. It reshapes conversations, rewires memories, and redefines silence. But hidden inside grief is often a quiet invitation - to carry forward what was best in the one we've lost. In this episode, Dr. Ed Tori shares a powerful conversational frame that helps others (and ourselves) move not on from loss, but with it. It begins with true listening - TING - the kind of listening that uses your whole presence. From that deep attention, something extraordinary can happen. Here's the simple, human pattern: Listen wholly. Not to fix. Not to fill silence. Just to hold space. Notice permission signals. When someone shifts from facts to stories, they're inviting depth. Spot the light. When they describe a beautiful trait of the one they've lost - pause there. Invite expansion. “Tell me more about how they made others feel loved.” Honor it. Acknowledge its beauty. Sit in it for a beat. Then, gently reframe. “If you were to bring a little more of that into your own life, what might that look like?” It's not about replacing or distracting from grief. It's about transformation through continuation - helping someone find the living thread of their loved one in the acts and traits they admired most. Grief doesn't have to be the end of connection. It can be a new beginning of carrying forward what was good, kind, and true. Reflection Prompt: Think of someone you've lost. What was their superpower? What would it look like if you paid it forward - even once this week? Resources Mentioned: TING - The Art of Listening HypnoticGiftsBook.com - Discover how to transform someone's life in a single conversation DrTori.com/coaching-application-1on1 - For 1:1 influence immersion coaching Takeaway: We honor those we've lost not by moving on - but by moving with them, through every act of kindness we continue in their name.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Forsaken Streets: When Trust Blooms in Ruin's Shadow Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-08-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A levelek susogtak a repedezett aszfalton, ahogy Zoltán halkan lépkedett a romos utcákon.En: The leaves rustled on the cracked asphalt as Zoltán quietly walked through the ruined streets.Hu: Budapest most kísértet járta hely volt, az élet nyomai már alig emlékeztettek arra, amit valaha ismert.En: Budapest was now a haunted place, the traces of life barely reminded him of what it once was.Hu: Mindenhol omladozó épületek, burjánzó növényzet.En: Crumbling buildings everywhere, luxuriant vegetation.Hu: Az ősz lassan átvette a hatalmat, és a hideg szél megcsípte az arcát.En: Autumn slowly took over, and the cold wind nipped at his face.Hu: Zoltán egyetlen célja az volt, hogy elegendő élelmet és vizet találjon a közeledő télre.En: Zoltán's sole aim was to find enough food and water for the approaching winter.Hu: Egy másik reménye még erősebben hajtotta: valahol itt lehet a húga, akit keres.En: Yet, another hope drove him even more strongly: somewhere here might be his sister, whom he was searching for.Hu: Óvatos volt, mindig a Rejtőző utcákban mozgott, elkerülte az ismeretleneket.En: He was cautious, always moving through the Hidden Streets, avoiding strangers.Hu: A köd mindent elnyelt, de nem rejthette el a magányosságot, ami folyamatosan ott lebegett körülötte.En: The fog swallowed everything but couldn't hide the loneliness that constantly hovered around him.Hu: Egy napon, amikor egy régi szupermarket maradványait kutatta át, Zoltán hangokat hallott.En: One day, while searching through the remnants of an old supermarket, Zoltán heard voices.Hu: Megfordult, készen állva a menekülésre vagy a harcra, de egy nő állt előtte.En: He turned around, ready to flee or fight, but a woman stood before him.Hu: Eszter gyorsan hátralépett, látva Zoltán védekező testtartását.En: Eszter quickly stepped back upon seeing Zoltán's defensive posture.Hu: „Nem akarok ártani” – mondta csendesen.En: "I don't want to harm you," she said quietly.Hu: „Én is túlélő vagyok.En: "I'm a survivor too.Hu: Csak menedéket keresek.En: Just looking for shelter."Hu: ”Zoltán nem bízott benne rögtön.En: Zoltán didn't trust her right away.Hu: Túl sokszor látott már árulást ebben az új világban.En: Too often he'd seen betrayal in this new world.Hu: Eszter azonban más volt.En: However, Eszter was different.Hu: Nem próbált ráerőltetni semmit, csak megosztotta vele céljait.En: She didn't try to impose anything on him, just shared her goals.Hu: Szeretett volna társaságot, egy biztonságos helyet, ahol újra emberi érzéseket élhet át.En: She longed for company, a safe place where she could experience human emotions again.Hu: Beszélgetni kezdtek, mindketten a helyzetükről, a családjukról és a reményeikről meséltek.En: They began to talk, both sharing their situations, about their families and their hopes.Hu: Zoltán elmondta Eszternek a húga eltűnéséről, Eszter pedig megosztotta, mennyire hiányoznak neki a családjaival töltött ünnepek.En: Zoltán told Eszter about his sister's disappearance, and Eszter shared how much she missed the holidays spent with her family.Hu: Az emlékek között ott volt a Mindenszentek napja, amikor virágokkal borították a sírokat és gyertyát gyújtottak az elhunytak emlékére.En: Among the memories was All Saints' Day, when they covered the graves with flowers and lit candles in memory of the departed.Hu: Hirtelen futólépteket hallottak a közelben.En: Suddenly, they heard running footsteps nearby.Hu: Zoltán érzelmei elárasztották, de most nem volt idő tétovázásra.En: Zoltán was flooded with emotions, but there was no time for hesitation.Hu: „Együtt kell maradnunk” – mondta.En: "We have to stick together," he said.Hu: Eszter bólintott.En: Eszter nodded.Hu: Összefogtak, elmúlt a bizonytalanság perce.En: They joined forces, and the moments of uncertainty passed.Hu: A támadók gyorsan közeledtek, de Zoltán és Eszter együtt szálltak szembe velük.En: The attackers approached quickly, but Zoltán and Eszter faced them together.Hu: Egyesített erejükkel sikerült elkergetniük a veszélyt.En: With their combined strength, they managed to drive away the danger.Hu: Ahogy a támadók eltűntek a ködben, ketten összenéztek, végre megértve egymást.En: As the attackers disappeared into the fog, the two of them exchanged glances, finally understanding each other.Hu: „Talán együtt könnyebb lesz” – mondta Eszter fáradtan, de bizakodón.En: "Maybe it will be easier together," Eszter said tiredly but optimistically.Hu: Zoltán elmosolyodott.En: Zoltán smiled.Hu: Tudta, hogy a bizalom lassan épül, de úgy döntött, hogy ad egy esélyt ennek az új szövetségnek.En: He knew that trust builds slowly, but he decided to give this new alliance a chance.Hu: Így kezdődött valami új.En: Thus began something new.Hu: Zoltán és Eszter megállapodtak, hogy megsegítik egymást a tél folyamán, mégis külön célokkal bírtak.En: Zoltán and Eszter agreed to help each other through the winter, yet they had separate goals.Hu: Zoltán kereshette tovább húgát, míg Eszter remélhette, hogy a magány eltűnik az életéből.En: Zoltán could continue searching for his sister, while Eszter could hope the loneliness would vanish from her life.Hu: A romok közepette újjászületett a bizalom apró magva.En: Amidst the ruins, the tiny seed of trust was reborn.Hu: Egy új remény sugárzott a kihalt utcák felett.En: A new hope shone over the deserted streets.

Arun asked Manish.Hi: मनीष के चेहरे पर हल्की सी मुस्कान आई।En: A slight smile appeared on Manish's face.Hi: "मैं इसे बचा के रखा था," मनीष ने कहा, "यह अब भी काम करता है।"En: "I preserved it," Manish said, "It still works."Hi: जैसे ही वे जोरों से लहराते हुए गंगा के किनारे पहुँचे, अरुण ने तारा के सामने अपने दिल की बातें खोलीं।En: As they reached the Ganga's shoreline with waves pounding fiercely, Arun opened up his heart to Tara.Hi: उसने अपने अतीत की हर वो भूल बताई जिससे वह बुरी तरह से झकझोर गया था।En: He confessed every mistake of his past that had shaken him deeply.Hi: तारा ने अरुण का हाथ थामा और उसकी ओर भरोसे से देखा।En: Tara held Arun's hand and looked at him with trust.Hi: जैसा कि मनीष ने अपनी योजना को सफलतापूर्वक अंजाम तक पहुँचाया, रेडियो से आवाज़ आई, "हम यहाँ हैं... गंगा के इस पार सुरक्षित बच गए।"En: As Manish successfully executed his plan, the radio sounded, "We are here... safely across the Ganga."Hi: गंगा किनारे सुरक्षित समुदाय को देख, अरुण ने अपनी आँखों में नई उम्मीद के आंसू लिये हुए पहली बार शांति महसूस की।En: Seeing the secure community by the Ganga banks, Arun felt peace for the first time, tears of renewed hope brimming in his eyes.Hi: ऊपर दीयों का प्रकाश छलकता रहा, अंधेरे में उजाले की तरह।En: The light from the lamps above shimmered, like light in the darkness.Hi: यह नई शुरुआत थी – आशा की, विश्वास की, और उत्थान की।En: This was a new beginning—of hope, trust, and revival.Hi: अरुण ने पाया कि अतीत को भूलना ही नहीं वरन् उसे अपनाना भी जरूरी है।En: Arun found that it was important not only to forget the past but also to embrace it.Hi: दीवाली की उस रात ने इस पुनः जीवन को उनके सामने एक नये नाम के साथ बताया – 'समाज का पुनर्निर्माण।'

colori dell'autunno e fredda nell'aria.En: It was All Saints' Day, and the city was warm with the colors of autumn and cold in the air.It: Giorgio parlava di leggende e tesori nascosti nel mare, e

surrounding nature.It: "Non dovremmo avvicinarci," disse Elena con prudenza.En: "We shouldn't get closer," said Elena cautiously.It: "Potrebbe essere pericoloso.En: "It could be dangerous.It: E se ci sono problemi con la polizia?"En: And what if there are problems with the police?"It: Giorgio non sentiva ragioni: il desiderio di scoprire cosa si nascondeva dietro quel mistero era troppo forte.En: Giorgio wouldn't listen to reason: the desire to discover what was hidden behind that mystery was too strong.It: "Non posso restare fermo," rispose Giorgio determinato.En: "I can't stand still," Giorgio replied determinedly.It: "Devo sapere di più."En: "I have to know more."It: Con passo deciso si diresse verso la barca, lasciando Elena indecisa sulla riva.En: With a determined step, he headed toward the boat, leaving Elena indecisive on the shore.It: Dopo qualche istante di tensione e incertezza, la curiosità ebbe il sopravvento: Elena lo seguì.En: After a few moments of tension and uncertainty, curiosity got the better of her: Elena followed him.It: La barca era vecchia, ma solida.En: The boat was old but sturdy.It: Con grande cautela, Giorgio ed Elena salirono a bordo.En: With great caution, Giorgio and Elena climbed aboard.It: All'interno era quasi vuota, ma qualcosa attirò l'attenzione di Giorgio.En: Inside it was almost empty, but something caught Giorgio's attention.It: Ai suoi piedi, una tavola del pavimento sembrava diversa.En: At his feet, one floorboard seemed different.It: Con pazienza, sollevò il pannello e rivelò un compartimento nascosto.En: Patiently, he lifted the panel and revealed a hidden compartment.It: Elena trattenne il fiato mentre Giorgio estraeva un'antica mappa ingiallita.En: Elena held her breath as Giorgio extracted an old yellowed map.It: Era criptica, con linee marcate e simboli misteriosi, e suggeriva la posizione di un tesoro perduto del primo Novecento.En: It was cryptic, with marked lines and mysterious symbols, and suggested the location of a lost treasure from the early 1900s.It: "Non possiamo farlo sapere a nessuno," decise Giorgio, col cuore che batteva forte per l'emozione.En: "We can't let anyone know," Giorgio decided, his heart pounding with excitement.It: Elena annuì, il volto illuminato da una nuova scintilla di avventura.En: Elena nodded, her face lit up by a new spark of adventure.It: Alla fine, entrambi si allontanarono dalla spiaggia, promettendosi di seguire gli indizi insieme.En: In the end, they both left the beach, promising to follow the clues together.It: Giorgio aveva trovato

Sermon by Rabbi Sarah Berman, "Lost and Found" October 14, 2025

Parables in the Book of Luke

Mama, it is a blessing to know that just like a loving parent, God is continuously seeking you and inviting you into his joyful presence. Enjoy this brand new devotional as you find God's unconditional love!“There once was a shepherd with a hundred lambs, but one of his lambs wandered away and was lost. So the shepherd left the ninety-nine lambs out in the open field and searched in the wilderness for that one lost lamb. He didn't stop until he finally found it. With exuberant joy, he raised it up, placed it on his shoulders, and carried it back with cheerful delight!” ‭- Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭TPT‬‬

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey through the Scriptures together each day, warming our hearts by the fire of God's love. In today's episode, we mark the 275th day of our journey as Hunter, your host and Bible reading coach, guides us through Zechariah chapters 13 and 14, Psalm 147, and Luke 15. Today's reading brings us messages of hope, restoration, and the unyielding pursuit of God's love. We hear of God's promise to cleanse and restore His people in Zechariah, the healing power and compassion of the Lord in Psalm 147, and, in Luke 15, the unforgettable parable of the prodigal son—a moving reminder that God is a Good Father and Shepherd who finds and welcomes the lost, whether they are far away or standing just outside the door. Through prayer, reflection, and devotion, this episode centers on the theme that no matter where we find ourselves—lost in weakness, pride, or longing—God's heart is always for us, inviting us to come home and join the celebration of redemption. So settle in as we open the Scriptures, discover fresh encouragement, and remember above all: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Boys coming home. Both lost. Both slaves. One to his lusts and appetites, one to his pride. But God has a way of finding lost things. Just before this story, Jesus tells a parable of a lost sheep. He says God is like a good shepherd who finds lost sheep, brings them home on his shoulders, calls his friends together, throws a party because what was lost has now been found. And that's what we see with the younger brother. We're told he came to his senses—he saw something in his father, even from a long distance away, and so he comes home. But the good father, the good shepherd, still has some work to do. There's one lost sheep still to go. The older brother. He's lost too—not in his lusts and appetites, but in pride. Pride has drawn him to a distant land, far from his father's heart. And unlike his younger brother, he hasn't come to his senses yet. He's still lost. Of all the ways to be lost, this is perhaps the most tragic. And in the Father's words, we hear his broken and pleading heart: My dear son, all I have is yours. Come to your senses. My heart overflows for you. Don't let pride stand in the way, blinding you from your home and my heart. I'm standing right in front of you. God is a good father and a good shepherd, and he's always pursuing our hearts. You might come to your senses and see him from far off, or you might find him standing outside your own home. Either way, he's a good father, a good shepherd. He won't stop until he's found what he's looking for—until we are fully alive and come to join him in the party. So see your good father today. See the good shepherd today. See how he's always pursuing your heart—even today. He always has these words for you: My dear son, my dear daughter, all I have is yours. So come, let's join the party. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
