About this episode

The episode explores the lessons learned from the parable of The Prodigal Son, focusing on faith, perspective, and personal struggles.

Episode Summary As we enter Holy Week, I wanted to focus this week's podcast episode on faith, perspective, and the weight we all carry. I walk through the parable of The Prodigal Son and how each character, the younger son, the older son, and the father each represent struggles we all face in our own lives. From chasing what we think we want, to feeling overlooked even when doing everything "right," to learning how to extend grace and love, this episode challenges you to see yourself in the story and reflect on where you're at today. I also share how hardship, pressure, and uncertainty often become the very things that draw us closer to faith and how shifting your perspective can change how you carry those burdens. Whether you're strong in your faith, struggling, or somewhere in between, this episode is an invitation to lean in, reflect, and grow, especially during a season meant for exactly that.
