Description

What happens when our hearts operate from a place of abandonment rather than security in God's love? This episode delves into the concept of "living from an orphan heart" – that desperate longing to be attached to someone or something that will provide worth and security.

The conversation explores the parable of the Prodigal Son through a fresh lens – not just as a story of rebellion and return, but as a profound illustration of two sons (one who "got busy" and one who "got lost") who both struggled to grasp their father's unconditional love. Most revealing is how the father continually addresses both as "my son," emphasizing relationship over performance.

For those wrestling with trust issues, control tendencies, fear of abandonment, or performance-based identity, this episode offers both insight and hope. The journey from orphan mindset to secure sonship begins with awareness of these patterns and an invitation to hear God's persistent voice calling us back to our true home in His heart.
