Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme of “Fathers in the Bible” by discussing the greatest father of all, God. We turned to Luke 15:11-24 to analyze the parable of the Prodigal Son, as it relates to the rejoice and warm embrace our Heavenly Father has waiting for us whenever we come to Him. Our Heavenly Father wants an intimate and devoted relationship with us all, but we have to cast away the things of the world and submit to Him as the Prodigal son did when returning to his father. We also heard from Anne Graham Lotz, who shared her memorable moments with her Dad, Billy Graham, before his passing. Anne is known for her deep biblical wisdom, as she speaks globally and was called “the best preacher in the family” by her late father. We also had Karl pop in from Burundi, East Africa, to provide us with an update on what’s going on there. Then we heard a testimony from one of the listeners in the Boom Crew, Josiah.

Reflections on Youth, Faith, and the Prodigal Son Gratitude for the youth and their efforts, acknowledging the courage it takes for them to stand up. Personal connection to youth retreats since 2003, emphasizing God's consistent presence and miraculous works at these events. "Not one time did He not show up in a mighty way. Not one time. And I thank God for that." Challenge to go with God, even when it's difficult, trusting that God will not fail when effort is made. Luke 15: The Parable of the Prodigal Son The younger son's journey into a far country, wasting his substance with riotous living, leading to famine and desperation. "The younger son gathered all together and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living." The father's compassion and forgiveness upon the son's return, highlighting the themes of repentance and restoration. "But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him." Prayer for open hearts to transformation, acknowledging resistance to change and the need for God to move and fix what is broken. Confession of personal inability to effect change, trusting in God's guidance as sheep. Desire for a powerful love within the community, fostering love for God, one another, and sinners. The 15th chapter of Luke encompasses the lost coin, the lost son, and the lost sheep. Spiritual State and God's Unfailing Love Challenge to those who feel spiritually distant, reminding them of the possibility of return, as illustrated by the prodigal son. Emphasis on God's consistency and unfailing presence, even during times of straying. "God doesn't fail them. He never stops being our Father." Personal testimony of God's pursuit even when not actively seeking Him. Acknowledging that not everyone will choose God, but emphasizing the importance of personal decisions and commitment. "You can't control what a person does. They've got to make a decision at some point in their life." Personal testimony of committing to the Lord Jesus, selling out 100%, and laying life in His hands. The Price of Running from God The consequences of running from God and chasing worldly things, including the inability to undo certain experiences. "There's a great price for running from God... there are things that happen during that time you can't unhappen." Affirmation of God's unwavering love and willingness to be a shepherd, even without being asked. "He never stopped loving him. And he never will for him. He's always there." "He told me he was my shepherd. He informed me for him the day that he saved me." Warning to the youth about the consequences of poor choices, using the analogy of the Raiders of the Lost Ark. "If you make a bad decision, there's bad consequences that follow." Gratitude for never losing the position as a son, emphasizing that those born again have a shepherd who will seek them out. "Thank God that I never lost my position as a son. I never, for it was once lost." "He will leave the 90 and die safe in the pool. And he'll come after you if you're one of his." Love, Choices, and Commitment Prayer for the youth to be filled with love from the church, emphasizing the power of prayer in lifting them up. Acknowledging the choices they will make in the coming years and their potential impact. "Over the next year, two years, three years, five years, some of them are going to start making choices, friend, as I go. That'll cost them or it'll benefit them for the rest of their days." Warning against basing decisions on lust and emphasizing God's faithfulness despite personal failings. "If what you do is based upon the lust of your own heart..." "I didn't get it right. I made mistakes in my life. I got it wrong. But I'll tell you what I did do.

Few things test a parent's heart like watching a child walk away—from your home, your voice, and from the truth you've spent years planting. It's a pain only God fully understands. And it's a pain He speaks into. The story of the prodigal son is not just about rebellion—it's about relentless love. And if you're standing in that place today, God sees you.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion..." — Luke 15:20The prodigal's father didn't chase his son into rebellion—but he never stopped watching the road.If your son or daughter has wandered—into sin, doubt, addiction, unbelief—you are not alone. And you are not powerless. God is not finished writing their story.In seasons of rebellion, your role is prayerful presence. Keep the door open, keep your heart soft, and keep your knees on the floor. You don't need to argue your child back to Jesus. You love them, speak truth when the Spirit leads, and trust that what God began in them, He is able to complete.And maybe today, the prodigal child is not a teenager—but an adult. Maybe the distance has been years, not months. Hear this: God is not bound by time. He's not restricted by seasons. And His Word never returns void.You may not see it yet, but the Father is working. Even now. In the pigpen. In the silence. In the questions your child won't say out loud. He's stirring. Drawing. Loving.You're not a failure—you're a watchman. And heaven still hears your prayers.Question of the Day:What promise from God are you holding onto for your prodigal child?Mini Call to Action:Write your child's name on a card. Speak a specific Scripture over them out loud today. Declare it in faith, even if your heart is hurting.Let's Pray:Father, I place my child into Your hands. I trust that Your love reaches further than my voice ever could. Call them home. Speak to them in the silence. And strengthen me as I wait. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Don't give up.

When I learned that 2 of my children stopped believing in Jesus, I was devastated. Even though we mourn the relationship when we become estranged, that is not the biggest blow when you're estranged from a prodigal. The biggest blow is about their relationship with Jesus. As a Christian mother, your highest hope for your child is that they make it to Heaven. When faced with them turning from the Christian Faith, your heart breaks as you consider them being lost. It's tempting to blow up at your prodigal, trying to push them back to a place of spiritual safety. But doing so can make things even worse.

Client Reviews… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and guidance received in the most tragic time of my life from coach Jenny Good. Her faith, compassion, understanding, dedication and display of radical love has truly been life-changing for me. I was so overwhelmed with feelings of confusion, guilt, and sadness. I felt lost and didn't know how to navigate through the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. However, from the very first call, Jenny created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to share my details. Her ability to listen attentively and empathize while helping me understand a different way of thinking is truly remarkable. She understood my feelings and offered tools each session in ways I have not experienced even from therapy. I am forever thankful for the medicine she has poured into me to be the very best version of myself! This has rippled into all areas of life for me. Jenny's teachings have produced results reconnecting me with my estranged daughter! Thank you for being the vessel of unwavering faith & love that so many of us could benefit from, estranged or not.

Here's my message for prodigals and Pharisees: You can come home. You can come in. Come to your senses. Prodigals, look around at where you sin has taken you, what it's taken from you. Pharisees, look at what your self-justification has done to you. The irritation, the hard heart, the critical spirit, the anger at sinners. You have a father who is not abusive, hard to please, or distant. You have a Father who runs with arms wide open.  

On June 2, about 25 years ago, our prodigal, Josh, met Jesus. He was living at House of Hope, a nearby residential home for troubled teens. His house dad, Mike, loved him, prayed for him, sought to guide him into better life choices, and on June 2, 1997, he introduced our son to Jesus. That evening Mike baptized him in the nearby lake. Josh's life changed then, and when he came home months later. He wanted to walk with God. But wrong friends and the trauma of his early life put him on a roller coaster. He would do well and make good choices for days, weeks, even months. Then down he would go for many months. The unpredictable cycle went on for 15 years.Judy's Resources:Read The Grace-full Father: https://bit.ly/3SiGkImRead A Word from Josh: https://bit.ly/3ZDiH10Join the Prayer for Prodigals community here: https://bit.ly/3uyhSWQSign up for Judy's monthly newsletter here: https://bit.ly/39TBlYtPurchase a copy of the When You Love a Prodigal book for you or a loved one here: https://amzn.to/3RuiUx9Stay connected:Website: judydouglass.com/podcastFacebook: facebook.com/JudyDouglass417Instagram: instagram.com/judydouglass417X: twitter.com/judydouglass417Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/judyddouglass/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JudyDouglass

As Pastor Ken continues his teaching series through the book of Hosea, he'll encourage you to put on the whole armor of God because the enemy is actively trying to destroy the Church. Thankfully, we are promised that the gates of Hell shall not prevail against the Church! The enemy uses all the same tactics and tricks. He uses your flesh against you and sends temptations your way that could cause you to take your focus off of Jesus. Remember, greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

Hosea's wife, Gomer, practiced unfaithfulness as a lifestyle. When she conceived and bore children, God told Hosea to give them prophetic names symbolizing the Lord's judgment on Israel. For example, Jezreel foretold a great massacre that would happen in that valley, and Lo-Ammi means “not my people,” signaling God's rejection of Israel. Hosea warned of painful consequences, invasion, and slavery. Today, Pastor Ken will explain that Hosea's message was clear—sin brings judgment!

Conflict in Israel has been a reality whenever Israel has existed as a nation. Whether it was the Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians, or Romans, the nation of Israel has always been persecuted by its neighbors. Why is this? According to the Bible, it is because God has a special plan for the nation of Israel, and Satan wants to defeat that plan. Today, Pastor Ken will explain that satanically influenced hatred of Israel is the reason Israel's neighbors have always wanted to see Israel destroyed.

What happens when a parent's deeply held Christian values collide with their child's life-altering decisions? Debrah McNinch faced this question head-on when her adult son announced he was transgender in 2017. The pain and isolation that followed became the catalyst for Battle Cry Moms, a prayer movement uniting mothers of prodigal children across denominational lines.With raw honesty, Debrah shares the journey from devastation to determination, revealing how she navigated the tension between unconditional love and unwavering faith. "I couldn't hate my child enough to get him to heaven, and I couldn't love him straight to hell," she explains, articulating the delicate balance many Christian parents struggle to maintain when their children make choices that conflict with their beliefs.The conversation tackles the uncomfortable reality that churches often fall short in supporting families through these crises. Many parents find themselves caught between two extremes - reject your child or fully affirm choices against your faith - with little guidance on finding a middle path rooted in both truth and grace. Debrah's experience highlights the urgent need for faith communities to create space for messy realities rather than perpetuating the illusion of perfect Christian families.Battle Cry Moms now connects over 1,300 mothers worldwide through a private online platform where they can share struggles, find specific support groups, and most importantly, unite in persistent prayer for their children. The community stands on the conviction that while parents cannot force their children back to faith, they can stand in the gap through faithful intercession, armed with Scripture and unwavering hope.Whether you're personally walking through the heartbreak of a prodigal journey or seeking to better support those who are, this conversation offers practical wisdom, spiritual encouragement, and a powerful reminder that no situation is beyond God's redemptive reach. Join us to discover how persistent prayer and unconditional love can become your battle cry in life's most challenging seasons.https://www.debramcninch.com/https://www.battlecrymoms.com/Let me know what you think of this episode?
