Question: Can we try an experiment today where we don’t disconnect ourselves from scripture? Let’s not look at Adam as a louse that ruined the future for us, but see him through more compassionate eyes. 

Easy to say what we would do under the circumstances - but we daily crumble under pressures that are nowhere near as intense —- we snap when somebody gets our breakfast or coffee order wrong and it derails our entire day.

We find out who we are and what we’re made of when we go through the intense situations!

What if the real test of leadership isn’t your reach, but what you’re willing to interrupt for? We take a hard look at the Good Samaritan and our own habits of distance, asking why respected people can see pain and still step to the other side of the road. This isn’t a finger-wag; it’s a mirror. We explore how compassion stops being a feeling and becomes a method: notice, approach, bind, carry, pay, and return—each step costly, each step human.

We unpack the tension between impact and inconvenience that so often defines modern leadership and personal growth. If nothing in our mission costs us time, money, or comfort, maybe we’re managing a brand instead of living a calling. Along the way, we confront common excuses—busy schedules, safety concerns, image protection—and show how they quietly convert empathy into apathy. The Samaritan’s example reframes success: love requires margin, and margin is built on purpose, not by accident. Your neighbor isn’t the one who looks like you or can pay you back; it’s the person right in front of you.

We also turn the story inward. Many of us have been the traveler in the ditch—stripped by setbacks, stalled by fear, unable to rescue ourselves. Remembering that rescue transforms compassion from performance into overflow. It softens the heart and hardens the resolve to act when interruption arrives. You’ll leave with practical prompts to build margin, turn noticing into helping, and commit beyond the moment. Someone will be on your road this week. See them,
