Pastor Jeffrey continues our Summer Baggage series. We go to Luke 15 and look at the story of the prodigal son. We see that there is much more to this story than you might have been taught in the past.ASL interpretation is provided.  Questions?

Maybe you've heard it said, "it's not how you start it's how you finish." Which is 100 percent true but also sometimes how I start is a disaster and sets the whole tone for the journey. This story didn't start well and it started well before the son asked for his inheritance and left the father. It started small, subtle, and internal. Maybe with a little dissatisfaction, maybe he started comparing his life with his brothers, maybe he was romanticizing life outside the house, had some unresolved frustration or was indulging private fantasies. What it was let him to a point where he made a decision. It always is a decision that we make after indulging the internal that leads to all the rest. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

How do we see ourselves in this well known parable, and what are we being invited into? How do we feel knowing the older brother is left standing in a field at the end of this parable? Chris & Dave talk about the ways in which we are all prodigals, and how we are invited to abide in relationship with God.

The parable of the lost coin hits differently—because the coin didn't run off, it was simply misplaced. It didn't rebel; it was just lost in the house. Like us. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling lost—not because we've left God, but because we've misplaced things like our identity, purpose, or security. And just like the woman searching for the coin, God doesn't stop looking. He's not just in the business of finding the lost—He's all about restoring what's been misplaced. Your story, your worth, your place still matter to Him. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

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

It doesn't make sense to leave 99 sheep to chase one that wandered off—but that's exactly what Jesus says the Good Shepherd does. In response to the judgmental muttering of the religious crowd, Jesus tells three parables—simple, relatable stories with deep spiritual truths. And they all aim at one thing: our hearts. In the first story, a sheep doesn't rebel—it just drifts. Distracted, unaware, and vulnerable—just like us. But the Shepherd notices. He sees the one that no one else sees. He pursues. That's the kind of love Jesus has for you. It might not make sense to us, but it makes perfect sense to a God whose love goes further than we can imagine. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

Catalyst Church of Carrollton - 5/18/25 "We're All Prodigals"

Everyone has friends and family members who either walked away from Jesus or never fully surrendered their heart to Him even though they had opportunities to do so. This reality is heart wrenching and difficult for all of us, and I am sure that we would do anything we could to see our loved ones come back to Jesus. In our passage today, we can clearly see the heart of Christ to bring all people to Himself no matter where they come from or what they have done. As a church, we are taking a stand together to pursue our prodigals until all have returned to Christ!   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Luke 15:1-10 Series: Stand Alone Messages   For more information visit www.BenDixon.org

Before Jesus said a word, his actions spoke volumes—he was eating with “sinners,” and the religious crowd couldn't handle it. Their pride and judgment were on full display, and in response, Jesus told three powerful stories that revealed God's heart. A heart that loves more—loves first, loves when we're a mess, loves when we walk away. These stories challenge us: Have we let that kind of love change us? Do we look more like Jesus or more like the ones who judged him? And who are we making room for at our table? (Talk by Joshua Ott)

Rev. Mark Trigsted preaching, "The Preacher & Their Prodigals" from Luke 15

This might be the most helpful episode we've done on this podcast.Loving a prodigal can be like a roller coaster—the ups and downs, the unexpected turns. The dashed hopes. In our last episode we looked at our persistent enemy—a roaring lion we know as Satan. This week we will look at what an opportunist he is, and ways we can resist him.Judy's Resources:Read The Ways of the Enemy: Opportunist: https://bit.ly/4jT5UiIRead The Ways of the Enemy: Counterfeit-The Way: https://bit.ly/44MzGBnJoin 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

Two pastors describe the challenges they've experienced with prodigals — who grew up in loving, Christian families, yet were far from God. But through unconditional love and godly hope, their prodigals were restored and now serve in ministry today.

It's easy to categorize those who leave their faith as prodigals. But how many prodigals are still active in church? Two pastors share their experience with prodigals and the valuable spiritual lessons God taught them about unconditional love and accountability.

We're visiting other shelves on the bookcase again, this time to dig into World of Darkness: Hong Kong. As with the Tokyo citybook, this was a Year of the Lotus supplement that was ostensibly for all the oWoD gamelines, but in truth was more vampire-centric than anything. Still—the tilts at the other games are present, and to help us sort through the Prodigals, we were joined by Terry Robinson from Mage: the Podcast (recorded before his passing) and Josh Heath from Werewolf: the Podcast (with whom Pooka recorded a follow-up segment more recently). From a Changeling perspective, the book notably contains example of hsien that are not quite built like Kithain, but are still a far cry from those in Land of Eight Million Dreams, which would not come out for several more months. The book overall is a richly described take on the city, and while its approach and accuracy are... debatable, some of it surprisingly prescient for what would follow in the next 25 years. If you'd like to go beyond taking our word for it, you can pick up a copy of the title at https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/344?affiliate_id=3063731.

Even when your prodigal is seeking to change patterns, to make better choices, to turn things around, they can't catch a break.Someone is opposing them.His name is Satan.Judy's Resources:Read Can You See the Lion Stalking?: https://bit.ly/42fNe73Join 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

In the message of "The Prodigals," Brother Duane explores the prodigal son described in Luke 15 and the parallels of Jesus' parables on lost things, such as the lost coin and lost sheep. Jesus' parables illustrate God's love for the lost and our responsibilities to reach out to them. Jesus' parables illustrate God's love for the lost and emphasize our responsibilities in reaching out to them. Additionally, Duane provides practical solutions for wayward children and stresses the importance of maintaining our faith and righteousness while loving and guiding them back.

Each morning, we take time to pray for wayward children, those that at one time, made a genuine confession of faith in Jesus Christ and repentance from sin. For whatever reason, they have chosen not to return to Him. Pastor Jay Dennis from City Central Church - Lakeland stopped by to make a plea to those running from God, to return to the lover of their souls.

One of the hardest parts of living with and loving a prodigal is the waiting, isn't it. I have said many times: I thought it was time! Isn't it time, Lord? Are we doing this again?

As Christian parents, we do our very best to help our kids develop deep and lasting relationships with Jesus. However, despite our efforts, they will sometimes still choose to walk away from their faith. If you're navigating this struggle with your own child, I want you to know that you are not alone and that this episode is for you.Many parents are experiencing the pain of watching their children live life without Christ. Whether your son or daughter has been drawn away by the allure of a secular lifestyle, fallen into the wrong crowd, or simply turned away from the faith they claimed as a child, it can be difficult to know the best way to help them.My latest guest understands this dilemma well. Laine Lawson Craft is a parenting expert, author, speaker, and host of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. She believes that the best place for parents to fight the battle for their wayward children is on their knees.In this episode, you'll hear:Why prayer is not a last resortHow to place your child in the Lord's handsThe importance of tending to your own heartAnd more!Whether your children are still at home or out on their own, it's never too early to start covering them in prayer!Show Notes: jillsavage.org/laine-lawson-craft-237Check out our other resources: Mark and Jill's Marriage Story Marriage Coaching Marriage 2.0 Intensives Speaking Schedule Book Mark and Jill to Speak Online Courses Books Marriage Resources: Infidelity Recovery For Happy Marriages For Hurting Marriages For Marriages Where You're the Only One Wanting to Get Help Mom Resources: New/Preschool Moms Moms with Gradeschoolers Moms with Teens and Tweens Moms with Kids Who Are Launching Empty Nest...

In my conversations with those who love a prodigal, or with someone going through hard times, with anyone in an uncertain time, I usually end up at the same place, with four words that can make a real difference, even bring transformation in a prodigal, and in our own lives.These words are filled with encouragement and hope. When I remember them and choose to believe what God says to me about them, I am changed. Sometimes my circumstances change. And often I see new ways that God is answering my prayerJudy's Resources:Read Living Out Love: https://bit.ly/3F3c9l4Read Immersed in His Love: https://bit.ly/3R3NvnfRead Scandalous Grace: https://bit.ly/4i2wxkXRead Turning Scripture into Blessing: https://bit.ly/4hZdRTdJoin 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/judydouglass417Twitter: twitter.com/judydouglass417Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/judyddouglass/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JudyDouglass

The prophet Isaiah repeatedly mocks them for carving idols to worship out of half a log, and cooking dinner with the other half. How could anyone think that “god” could save them?We read in 1 Samuel that rebellion is like the sin of witchcraft, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry (1 Samuel 15:23).Wow! I need to examine my rebellious tendencies.God understands our struggles, but He gives us every reason not to rebel.Judy's Resources:Read Words of My Life 4: Surrender: https://bit.ly/4aMx4o0Read My Rebellion, My Idols: https://bit.ly/40ZdDFiJoin 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/judydouglass417Twitter: twitter.com/judydouglass417Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/judyddouglass/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JudyDouglass

In this episode of Legacy Grandparenting, Wayne Rice and John Coulombe talk with James and Geoffrey Banks, co-authors of Hope Lies Ahead: Encouragement for Parents of Prodigals from a Family That's Been There. James is the founding pastor of Peace Church in Durham, North Carolina and a speaker at this year's Legacy Grandparenting Summit. Geoffrey Banks is the son of James Banks and is currently the youth pastor at Port City Community Church in Wilmington, North Carolina. But before Geoff became a youth pastor, he spent more than a decade as a “prodigal,” following the crowd rather than Jesus. Geoff shares openly how he became addicted to drugs and walked away from his faith while his parents prayed fervently for his return. James and Geoff share their remarkable story of redemption and offer hope and guidance for parents and grandparents who are currently praying for their prodigal children or grandchildren.For more information: https://jamesbanks.org/
