The story of the prodigal son is the emotional journey of a child who has gone away, reached the bottom, and eventually returned to his father's loving embrace.
Yet many prodigal stories do not seem to carry the hope of reunification. If you love someone who has gone away but not yet returned, then the pain of loss that you feel is very real and runs very deep.
This episode explores a topic that may hit a nerve: what to do when someone you love is no longer in your life because they've walked away from a relationship with you.
Shay and Lynn discuss 6 principles from the book Reaching Your Prodigal by Phil Waldrep that can lead towards hope and healing as you love your prodigal.
Whether it's a child, family member or friend, this journey can be isolating and confusing, so we hope that you find comfort in these guiding principles.
