Today we are starting a new series—a very important topic because God has said it is so high on His list of what matters, in our loved ones’ lives and in our lives. I’m talking about mercy. We all want mercy, but we often find it challenging to give mercy.
I think you will be surprised.

Debbie Runyon, sister to our prodigal Josh, once asked me why I let him get away with so many things he did. I said, “I could be after Josh all day every day with all the choices he made. I decided to focus on the ones that would save his life.”
In our honest and vulnerable conversation, Debbie shares from what she remembers when Josh first joined us as a foster child, some realities she learned, and a few lessons that have been helpful as she parents her five children.

episode ninety-three
As many of you know, my wonderful husband Steve moved to heaven four months ago. I am missing him terribly, but God and friends are helping me in so many ways.
One of the best things about our 47 years of marriage was that I knew he loved me. He told me so at least once every day. He gave me lots of hugs. Every morning he made coffee and brought a cup to me—and kept it filled.
And he and I both worked at loving our prodigal well. Though that wasn’t always easy or well-received, throughout the hardest 15 years of our prodigal wilderness, we never lost relationship with Josh. Through it all he began to believe we loved him.
