About this episode

John McDonough explores the deeper meanings of being lost through the parables in Luke 15, challenging the traditional view of the prodigal son narrative.

John McDonough takes us on a flyover of Luke 15 — and lands somewhere unexpected. We all know the parable of the prodigal son. But what if the title is wrong? What if it's not just one lost son, but two? And what if one of them never left home?Through the lens of three famous parables - the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost sons - John unpacks what it really means to be lost, what genuine repentance looks like, and why the Father runs towards us even when we smell like a pigsty.
