What happens when the "problem child" grows up to lead the church? And what if the real prodigal in Jesus' story isn't the son at all?
This week on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast, Neil sits down with Scott to unpack what didn't make it into Sunday's sermon on Luke 15. They talk about why the parable is really about an extravagant Father, not just a reckless son. Scott shares the parts he had to cut, the cultural context we often miss, and the symbolism behind robes, rings, and pigs.
Scott opens up about getting kicked out of school and the people who refused to give up on him. You'll hear how radical grace changed his trajectory and why that same grace has to shape how we treat "one more" today.
It's a reminder of who Southland has always been and who we're committed to be.
The Challenge:
Who is your "one more"? This week, lay down a preference, take a risk, and invite someone. Grace changed your story…now let it shape theirs.
Hosts: Neil Gregory & Scott Nickell
