In this episode, Jamal discusses the sobering reality of the dreaded double slap that affects all who learn to love wholeheartedly.  In this podcast, the two slaps are identified, as well as love's reaction to them.  This episode ends with some practical encouragement regarding how to weather those two slaps if we find ourselves on the receiving end, or possibly how to move out of the role of slapper and into the role of lover.  The talk is centered around the biblical parable of The Prodigal Son from the New Testament gospel of Luke 15:11-32.
