About this episode

When someone we love chooses a prodigal path, how do we respond with hope and forgiveness—even when they aren’t sorry? In this powerful episode, we revisit the parable of the prodigal son with fresh eyes, focusing not on the wayward child, but on the patient heart of the father. Featuring the remarkable testimony of Rev. Anthony Thompson, who forgave his wife’s unrepentant killer, this episode invites us to trust God’s timing, lean on His strength, and pray with perseverance for the prodigal’s return.
