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.

Dr. Robert Jackson has authored 4 books and is host of the More Than Medicine podcast.
