Fall Asleep to the Prodigal Son | The Father's Heart Revealed

The parable of the prodigal son is one of the most retold stories in human history — and most people have only heard half of it. This is the full story: a younger son who wanted the inheritance without the relationship, a far country that gave him everything he asked for and took everything he had, and a father who was watching the road the entire time. But it is also the story of the elder brother — the one who never left, who did everything right, and who still ended up standing in the dark outside the party, unable to step into the grace he had been living next to his entire life. Across seven chapters, this deep narrative walk through Luke chapter fifteen asks the question that the parable leaves unanswered: will you go in? If you have ever felt too far gone to come home, this story was told for you.
