As they unpack the story, you\u2019ll hear why grace moves first, why it costs something, and how it keeps the way home open for people who\u2019ve wandered off. You\u2019ll also discover the trap of the older brother\u2019s resentment \u2014 and why fairness isn\u2019t God\u2019s metric \u2014 plus why celebration itself is an act of grace. If you\u2019ve ever felt unworthy, unappreciated, or caught in score-keeping leadership, this conversation will remind you: unworthy never means worthless. Join Tim and Sara for a hopeful, honest look at how leaders can absorb the cost, resist resentment, and throw a party when grace shows up.
