Summer of the Parables Part 2 - The Broken Road

In this week’s episode, The Broken Road, Dr. Willy Rice takes us to Luke 10:25–37 and the parable of the Good Samaritan. What begins as a question—Who is my neighbor?—turns into a powerful picture of both human brokenness and unexpected compassion.

Through the story, we see the reality of the broken road—the inability of people to fully do good, to save themselves, or to rescue others. Yet in contrast, we’re shown the beauty of the blessed road, where true love is put into action. The Samaritan sees the need, steps in with compassion, and sacrificially gives to restore what was broken.

This message challenges us not just to define love, but to live it—to see others, to act with compassion, and to give of ourselves. In the end, Jesus’ call is clear: go and do the same.
