There is still hope for prodigals.

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the story of a father who never stopped watching the road for his son to come home.

In this episode, we talk with a pastor and his wife who are living that story right now-loving their adult child who has made some

poor choices and questioning her faith.

Their message is simple:
Don’t stop praying. Don’t stop loving. Don’t lose hope.
