Podcasts about father comes home

This podcast is a story of redemption. Many people have heard the story of the Prodigal son in Scripture. The son left home, spent all his inheritance in wayward living and debauchery and finally awoke to the realization that the servants in his father's house were living a much better life than he was living and so he decided to return to his father's house. The father embraced his son, all was forgiven. The father gave his son a robe, a ring and new sandals, artifacts that all symbolized acceptance and reinstatement in the family.  Herein this podcast is a story of a father who was at best absent as a father in relationship to his son. The father and his brother were living large in South Florida as drug dealers. Despite the fact as successful drug dealers they enjoyed a rich lifestyle neither brother was a good father to their family. This podcast is discussed from the son's perspective. His father was not there for him for the first 16 years of his life. Then an event happened: his father was caught and thrown in prison for 27 years. Imagine what it must have been like having an absentee father to start your life and then having him thrown in prison for 27 years after that, how would you feel?  Nonetheless, come listen to how God worked out a reconnection between father and son. The father returned to his son's home and now lives with his son and wife and grandchildren. This is a story of redemption. This is story we all can learn from. Whether a son returns home to his father, a child reconnects with his parents or in this case a father returns to his son a reconnection is made and it's a heartwarming true story of the Father's Heart of God in action!    Come and listen, enjoy, and connect with God Your Father's Perspective!

On the precipice of making a world changing medical breakthrough, Amal visits an old lover and they contend with the uncertain future through the light of a shared, tumultuous past. JACOB AND AMAL, our second Wordsmith Duo play this season supported by the Axe-Houghton Foundation, was written by Dipika Guha (Blown Youth, “Sneaky Pete,” “Black Monday”) and directed by Jo Bonney (Cost of Living, Father Comes Home from the War, Anna in the Tropics). It stars Rita Wolf (What Happened? The Michaels Abroad, Homeboy/Kabul) and Keith Randolph Smith (Jitney, American Psycho, Fences), and features music by composer Dan Moses Schreier (A Soldier's Play, Carmen Jones, American Psycho). Graphic design is by Harrison Gale.

Famed comics artist Barry Windsor-Smith — known for his work on Weapon X and Conan — spent 35 years bringing his magnum opus to life. In many ways, Monsters recalls his superhero work. A young man, viciously abused as a child, tries to enlist in the army only to be subjected to body horror experiments in an effort to transform him into a super human soldier. That's where the parallels end, however. Monsters is a much richer and more ambitous story, and while Windsor-Smith's storytelling falls back on some of the tropes familiar to superhero comics, Monsters isn't exhilarating or cathartic, as much as it is claustrophobic and tragic.

In this episode, we begin to dive into the idea of the "American Dream" and the different ways in which freedom is addressed between "Father Comes Home from War" by Suzan Lori Parks, "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, and "Don't You Wanna Be Free" by Langston Hughes. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lightscameraaf-am/message

Lyrical and poignant, Suzan-Lori Parks' play Father Comes Home From the Wars is a loosely adapted telling of The Odyssey set during the American Civil War. She imagines Hero, an enslaved man who is asked to follow his white captor into battle - fighting on the side of the rebel South. If he chooses to go, Hero will have to leave behind his beloved adoptive father and his long term romantic partner. Parks' three part telling of Hero's journey is an incredible feat of playwriting. This week on No Script, Jackson and Jacob discuss this 2015 Pulitzer Prize nominated play.   ------------------------------ Please consider supporting us on Patreon.
