episode one hundred fifty-nine

Our natural response in times of uncertainty and in life with a prodigal and the fears and frustrations we encounter, is to name everything that is wrong, to complain about all we don’t like. And our God receives our honest laments.

But He also encourages us to give thanks. In everything.

Seriously? How do we do that?

episode one hundred fifty-eight

I was reading Barbara Rainey’s blog recently and saw a post Relating to Your Adult Children. For most of the years God has had me in a loving a prodigal ministry, we have focused mostly on teens and young adults. But in recent years I hear more and more stories from parents whose adult children have separated from them—some a little, many because of rejecting their faith, and many who have completely cut off contact with their parents.

Today Dennis and Barbara are giving us practical and surprising ways to keep that relationship positive and healthy.

episode one hundred fifty-seven

As I have listened to the stories of friends’ prodigals and prayed for my son and many others, God took me on a journey back into the wilderness.

Gratefully I was reminded over and over of the transforming truths that I have learned on that path. And I am still learning.

These truths are gifts! Let me remind us all of some of the gifts we receive on a prodigal journey.
