In each episode, author and speaker Judy Douglass will guide you through lessons she’s learned in her son's 15-year prodigal journey to help mold your spiritual life.

episode one hundred seventy four

I am thrilled to be a grandmother—of 10 fabulous grands. I have a great desire to be a positive contributor to their growth, wisdom, and lives. I especially desire to help them not become prodigals, or if they do, to encourage them to choose to step away from that path.

Legacy Coalition is a great partner in these efforts. Legacy Coalition believes that grandparenting matters! Grandparents have so much potential to impact the youngest generations to follow Christ. And today’s podcast will be so helpful to assist grandparents in being a positive help in any prodigal journey.

episode one hundred seventy three

It’s not often I interview someone who comes from Freeport, Texas, which was like a summer home for me in high school. As Justin and I talked we knew many of the same places.

And I loved his redemptive story.

He grew up in the church, chose some wrong friends, rescued by a discerning judge, a long stint in the Navy—and a guitar.

You will love his Texas accent, his story, and a hopeful future.
