Father's Day surfaces something different in every man — gratitude, grief, complexity, pressure, or some combination of all four. In this episode of Faith Forward, Alexx goes into one of the most well-known parables Jesus ever told and makes the case that it is not primarily about the prodigal son — it is about the father. And what that father shows us about God changes everything about how we relate to Him. Drawing from Luke 15:11–24, this conversation challenges men to examine the filter through which they approach God and to receive the fathering that changes everything downstream.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why most men relate to God through the filter of their earthly father — and how that filter distorts everything
• What the running father in Luke 15 reveals about how God actually moves toward us
• Why the son's prepared speech got interrupted — and what that means for how you come to God
• The three things the running father reveals about the character of God
• How receiving God's fathering is the foundation of becoming the father your children need

Weekly Challenge: This Father's Day weekend, read Luke 15:11–24 slowly. When you reach the line "while he was still a long way off, his father saw him" — stop. Sit with this question: What would change in me if I actually believed God runs toward me?
