In today’s episode of The Prodigal Witness, Bryan and Chris are getting into the incredible lengths God goes to pursue us. Have you ever felt like you’re too far gone or that God has given up on you? This episode is here to remind you that no matter how far we stray, God’s love is always reaching out, calling us back to Himself. His pursuit isn’t a chase but an unyielding invitation for us to come home, feel His grace, and experience transformation.

We’ll explore powerful biblical stories that illustrate God’s relentless pursuit of His people, starting with the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32). This story paints a beautiful picture of God’s love and forgiveness through the father’s joyous embrace when his lost son returns. "His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours.’" (Luke 15:31, NLT). Even when we wander, God eagerly waits to welcome us back with open arms.

Next, we delve into Jonah’s story (Jonah 1-4), where God chases after a reluctant prophet who tried to run away. Despite Jonah’s resistance, God didn’t give up on him. "Then the LORD spoke to Jonah a second time: 'Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh, and deliver the message I have given you.'" (Jonah 3:1-2, NLT). God not only pursues us but also has a purpose for our lives that He longs for us to embrace.

We’ll also look at the parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-7), where Jesus illustrates God’s heart by describing a shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to find the one lost sheep. "And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders." (Luke 15:5, NLT). This powerful image reminds us that no one is too far gone for God’s reach. His pursuit is personal, and He searches for us, wherever we may be, until we’re found.

God’s pursuit isn’t confined to the pages of the Bible—it’s ongoing and present in our everyday lives. Through circumstances, people around us, or a quiet stirring in our hearts, God reaches out to each of us, inviting us to experience His love. We’ll share personal testimonies and listener stories of how God has made His presence known, showing His continued pursuit in our world today.

As we reflect on these examples, we’ll also discuss why God pursues us. It’s not just about forgiveness—it’s about relationship and transformation. "Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." (Revelation 3:20, NLT). God desires a relationship with each of us and offers His love, patiently calling us to repentance. "The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent." (2 Peter 3:9, NLT).

We’ll close with a time of reflection and prayer, asking God to open our hearts to His relentless love and help us respond to His pursuit. Whether you’re feeling distant from God or questioning if He’s reaching out to you, this episode will encourage you to recognize His pursuit and respond to His call.
