EPISODE #7


The Rule of Thumb

In The Rule of Thumb we look at the unique and amazing body of Christ from a new – and hilarious point of view. What happens when one member of the body calls it quits?

ABOUT THIS PARABLE

  • Concept: A young girl experiences the death of her father from illness. After he passes, she receives a special birthday gift from him. A story illustrating that the most important thing is the love we leave behind in the lives of others.
  • Story Origin: Original
  • Setting: N/A
  • Precept(s):
    • We all have a role to play in the body of Christ.
    • The body of Christ will not function properly unless all parts are involved.
    • We must learn to appreciate all of the parts of the body.
  • Key Bible Verse: 1Corinthians 12:18 But in fact, God has arranged the parts of the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
  • Additional Verses Referenced: Psalm 139:14

ABOUT SEW POWERFUL PARABLES

Sew Powerful Parables will tickle your funny bone, touch your heart and offer you a new way to experience God’s truth. Jesus often used parables to communicate His most important messages. Dana Buck picks up that tradition in a poetic, rhyming style that makes listening easy and enjoyable. All ages will love these stories full of memorable characters, insightful lessons and just plain fun.

After retiring from a 38-year career with the Christian non-profit organization, World Vision, Dana Buck now devotes himself full time to writing, speaking, and mentoring. His Sew Powerful Parables continue to grow in popularity as they charm audiences, readers and listeners. He is a Charter Board member for the nonprofit organization Sew Powerful, where he lends his expertise to further their mission of combating extreme poverty by training, equipping and empowering women and girls in the developing world. Dana resides in the greater Seattle area with his wife Grace and their neurotic cat. They have two children, Jared and Alyssa, and Alyssa is married to son-in-law, Ivan. No grandchildren yet, but Ivan and Alyssa do own and share their beautiful grand-dog, Odin. Reach Dana with comments or suggestions at dana@sewpowerful.org.

Sew Powerful Purse Program

Our annual Sew Powerful Purse program enables girls to stay in school. Purses are made and sent to Zambia as gifts. The local seamstresses in Zambia make re-usable hygiene pads and together they are provided to girls as part of health (MHM) training. Get Involved
