Restoration of Identity

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s First15, we continue our week on the parable of the prodigal son, by looking at the son’s restoration of identity. The way we see ourselves changes our lived experience every day. And the world around us often sends us a totally different message about who we are than who our Father in heaven says we are.
