Description

Think you know who the villain is in the story of the Prodigal Son? Think again. In this eye-opening episode, we flip the script on one of the Bible's most famous parables to reveal a truth: sometimes the one who never strays is also lost.

While we celebrate the dramatic comeback of the wayward son who squandered everything, we often miss how the "perfect" older brother—dutiful, responsible, and resentful—stands outside the celebration, unable to comprehend his father's extravagant love.

Discover how God's radical acceptance doesn't require perfect performance or cleaned-up behaviour—just a willingness to come home and join the feast.

Whether you identify with the rule-breaker or the rule-keeper, this timeless story exposes our deepest misconceptions about God's love and offers liberation from both rebellion and religion. The Father's arms are open wide—no resume required.
