Belonging, Comparison, and the 99 Sheep

We all know the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15. We picture the one who wandered. The one who needed rescuing. The one who was found.

But what about the ninety-nine?

In this episode, we explore what it means to live as part of the 99 — the sheep who stayed. What does faith look like when you’re not in crisis? What happens in your heart and nervous system when someone else gets the rescue story? And how do we stay grounded when comparison quietly creeps in?

Through Scripture, neuroscience, and an honest story about losing a favorite necklace, we’ll talk about:

• The deeper meaning of Luke 15
 • Belonging and comparison in everyday life
 • Why safety doesn’t automatically create peace
 • How faithfulness forms resilience
 • What it means to trust the Shepherd when love moves

Most of life is lived as the 99.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, quietly compared yourself to someone else, or wondered whether staying faithful matters — this episode is for you.

And next week, we sit down together for Episode 100. There’s room on the couch.
