My ultimate goal on this podcast is to Celebrate the Lord's faithfulness in every season and area of life.
To inspire you to seek Him, the giver of Life, in stewarding all He has given you and in pursuing all He has for you to do in building His Kingdom.
Tomorrow we celebrate the most significant “event” in the Christian faith—the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Because He lives, we can live. It is the foundation of our faith and hope. We of course remember and celebrate this every day but days of remembrance were very significant in Jesus's day and the Lord encouraged us to pass down our faith from generation to generation. One way that we do that is to have special days that we as Christians all over the world, pause, reflect and celebrate—like on Easter.
I read 3 different journal entries from year’s past, 2 are included in Part II of my book, Forged by the Fire. The 3rd one is a special out of the vault as they like to call it.

The Prodigal + Older Son
Today I want to talk to you about a story or parable that you are most likely familiar with if you have grown up in church, it is called the Prodigal son. I don’t want to just go thru it and recite it as we have done so many times but I want to share with you how I see myself in both the prodigal son and the older brother and how my prayer right now is for the Lord to develop the character of the Father in my own heart and life. Something that has stood out to me lately is when a couple different people have mentioned this parable and pointed out that the prodigal was treating his father as if he was already dead by asking for his inheritance. This is something I never really realized, but more on that later. A lot of the commentary that I am going to share is from the website, gotquestions.org, along with my own experiences.
