In today's episode, we dive deeper into the parable of the two lost sons, moving beyond the traditional focus on the prodigal son to explore the lessons revealed by the reaction of the older brother. This episode challenges us to reflect on our own perceptions of righteousness and forgiveness.

Through the lens of this parable, we examine how the older brother's response reveals a truth about self-righteousness and the dangers of believing ourselves to be morally superior. As we unravel the older brother syndrome, we uncover how it mirrors our tendencies to serve God from a place of fear rather than love. The older brother teaches us that God's love is not earned by our actions, but is a gracious gift for every repentant heart.
