Episode 153: Preparing The Way Home For The Prodigal

Dr. Robert & Carlotta Jackson
August 6, 2024

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!

ROBERT & CARLOTTA JACKSON are seasoned motivational speakers known for clearly communicating the transformative power of the Gospel into the lives of their audiences. They have been privileged to serve the Lord in a variety of ways including evangelizing through multiple mission trips, taking on a plethora of church and community responsibilities in the name of Jesus Christ, and operating a vibrant, Christian medical practice. They realize now that their greatest contribution may have been made sitting around the kitchen table – reading a great novel to or memorizing scripture with their children, discussing a spiritual truth or God’s Word with whomever, reviewing moral and political issues locally and abroad, and entertaining angels unaware. Dr. Robert Jackson has authored 4 books and is host of the More Than Medicine podcast. Robert & Carlotta live under grace in South Carolina and have been blessed with nine children – all of whom they homeschooled, six in-laws and 13 grandchildren.
