EchoScene: Prodigal 4 - Farmer: The Happiness Business
It all begins with an idea.
In our latest EchoScene, Farmer Digsley takes the mic on the Ted’s Talking podcast. True to form, he doesn’t waste any time setting the tone with his farmer-heady humor.
It’s classic Digsley. He’s quirky, down-to-earth, and more than a little pig-focused. At first glance, Digsley seems like comic relief in the Prodigal Son story. He’s the man in overalls with bacon on his mind. But beneath the humor is something more. Digsley represents the kind of leader who keeps showing up to do the steady work that others overlook.
While Sonny chased parties and ice sculptures, Digsley was tending pigs, selling at the market, and carrying the weight of work. He wasn’t chasing applause. He wasn’t looking for status. He was doing what he knew to do, and doing it faithfully.
That’s why Colossians 3:23 fits his echo so well: “Whatever you do, do it from the heart, as something done for the Lord and not for people.”
Digsley’s words might make us laugh, but his life points us toward something worth remembering: real joy isn’t found in fleeting pleasures, but in steady faithfulness. Sometimes leadership looks like running parties; other times, it looks like raising pigs. And in both cases, it echoes most deeply when done for the Lord.
EchoScene: Prodigal 3 - Sonny Steps Towards Home
It all begins with an idea.
A prodigal named Sonny begins to rehearse a simple speech:
“Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired workers.”
Before he ever took a step home, Sonny was already practicing words of humility. His shame was heavy, but his words revealed a heart that was finally ready to confess. What he didn’t know is that his father wasn’t waiting for a speech, he was waiting for his son.
We often do the same. We rehearse what we will say to God, as if we must have the right words before He will listen. But the gospel tells us that God runs to meet us before we finish. He interrupts our speeches with grace. He clothes us with forgiveness before we finish our apologies.
Taking the first step home is less about perfect words and more about trust. Our Father’s arms are already open.
EchoScene: Prodigal 2 - Sonny’s Time to Go
When the famine hit, Sonny was desperate, so desperate he thought about eating the food he was tossing to the pigs. But in that moment, something else hit him first: the memory of his father’s words, “I love you,” spoken even when Sonny had walked away with half the estate.
In this episode of the Ted’s Talking podcast, Sonny shares the turning point that sent him on the road back home… and how a pig managed to make the point unforgettable.
This lighthearted yet powerful scene from EchoScene blends humor with a deeper truth: sometimes grace catches us by surprise, and it’s the jolt we need to change direction.
