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!

Today we answer the kid question, “What does Jesus want for His birthday?”
Just like trained professionals can spot counterfeit money and handbags, children need a clear Biblical worldview to recognize counterfeit messages they encounter in our culture. Counterfeit acts like invisible UV rays, damaging our children and we don’t even realize it. The only antidote for what our kids need to prevent them from damaging counterfeit is Jesus.
In a world full of busyness and distractions, it can be hard to keep our focus on God. The more you know the Bible and the more you know God, the clearer, safer and sharper your lens is to process the world. This is known as a Biblical Worldview — seeing the world through God’s holy lens, brought into focus by the Bible. This simple and fun optical illusion activity will help guide you through teaching your child how and why we need to keep our focus on God.
