Episode 153: Preparing The Way Home For The Prodigal
Dr. Robert & Carlotta Jackson dig into Scripture to uncover the things the Lord has to teach through the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The definition of a prodigal is “someone who is wasteful.” In the Biblical narrative, the prodigal son wasted his inheritance, and is paralleled with a person who walks away from the faith. You’ll be inspired by the Jacksons’ wisdom and heart to share their own prodigal experience. Their desire is to spark hope for those who may be in the midst of a dark time, and provide practical ways to love the prodigal home.
Are you ready to hear how you can prepare the way home for a prodigal child? Let’s go!
