About this Episode
A son leaves home, makes a mess of his life, comes back, and his father forgives him. But what if you've heard it so many times that you've stopped feeling it?
In this message, Forrest Jenan unpacks the story behind the song Prodigals — and shows us that Jesus isn't just telling a nice story about forgiveness. He's introducing a complete paradigm shift about what God is actually like and how God moves toward people who feel far from home.
There are two sons in this story. One was lost in rebellion. One was lost in resentment. And the Father goes looking for both of them.
