What do we do when things are difficult, have no good answer, or don't seem to go as planned? Answering these questions doesn't come easily for anyone, even the most seasoned believer. Looking out, however, over situations that require strength and courage is something every one of us will face. In this Season 2 finale, take a look back at Apostle Lee Ann Marino's first ever audio recording - and embrace why and how we step back, embrace divine strength, and take courage in every situation we face.

A story of two brothers: One feels overlooked, and one screwed up. For two thousand years, we've only talked about the one who screwed up... point made. We love the story of the Prodigal Son: it fills us with warm fuzzies, without dealing with the fact that every one of us has been both brothers. Here, we take a look at the story through the eyes of the brother who was overlooked, left behind, and resentful...and how his father affirmed him. Recorded live at Sanctuary International Fellowship Tabernacle - SIFT (Charlotte, North Carolina), join Apostle Lee Ann Marino for a flip side of the story of the Prodigal Son, and why the older brother's story matters just as much as the prodigal.
