<p class="p1">In episode 65 of Thread, hosts Dr. David Pocta and Hannah DeSouza continue to accompany Jesus on his journey to Jerusalem, focusing on Luke's portrayal of humility, hospitality, and the boundless grace of God. The episode delves into the themes of Jesus redefining greatness through shared meals and parables, especially emphasizing Luke 14 and 15. Key topics include Jesus challenging religious leaders around the Sabbath meal, the parables of the lost sheep, coin, and sons, and the profound messages of inclusivity and lavish love. With reflections on various interpretations of the parable of the Prodigal Son, the hosts explore the idea that both sons were lost and the overarching message of God's scandalous grace.</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">00:01:00: Introduction The Journey to Jerusalem Continues</p> <p class="p1">00:03:00: Around the Table and Boundarylessness of Grace</p> <p class="p1">00:05:15: Healing on the Sabbath and Compassion over Rules</p> <p class="p1">00:08:15: Parables on Humility and Hospitality</p> <p class="p1">00:10:30: The Significance of Table Fellowship</p> <p class="p1">00:13:45: The Lost and the Found Parables (Luke 15)</p> <p class="p1">00:17:15: The Parable of the Lost Sons</p> <p class="p1">00:19:00: Discussion on the Younger Son</p> <p class="p1">00:22:15: The Father's Prodigal and Undignified Love</p> <p class="p1">00:25:20: Discussion on the Older Son</p> <p class="p1">00:29:20: The Parable's Cliffhanger and Invitation to the Pharisees</p> <p class="p1">00:32:15: Application to "Older Sons" and Avoiding Grumpiness</p> <p class="p1">00:34:40: The Messiness of Grace and Henry Nouwen's Commentary</p> <p class="p1">00:37:55: Summary of the Three Lostness Parables</p> <p class="p1">00:40:40: Conclusion of the Episode</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;</p> <p class="p1">Links:</p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/thread-podcast/id6462894424"><strong>Download the Thread Podcast App</strong></a></p> <p class="p1">Learn more about<a href="https://threadpodcast.org/"><strong>Thread&nbsp;</strong></a></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/threadpodcast.org"><strong>Thread Facebook</strong></a></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/threadpodcast/"><strong>Thread Instagram</strong></a></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpocta/"><strong>Dr. David Pocta</strong></a></p> <p class="p1"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-desouza-503ba1142/"><strong>Hannah DeSouza</strong></a></p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;</p> <p class="p2">&nbsp;</p>
