EchoScene: Prodigal 4 - Farmer: The Happiness Business

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.
