He's not this angry cosmic killjoy up in the sky who hates having fun and just this awful way that he's been depicted by, you know, to so many people, but in fact that he's this loving father who rejoices and he sings and he dances over you when you're unaware.
What does the story of the prodigal son have to do with addiction recovery? In this episode of 'THE COMEBACK: Stories That Inspire', Trey Lewis unpacks this timeless parable to reveal deep insights into the nature of divine love and grace. Trey explains how the father's unwavering love and readiness to welcome his wayward son home mirrors the boundless compassion of our Heavenly Father.
This episode speaks directly to those who feel lost or broken, offering a message of hope and redemption, no matter the extent of one's mistakes or sins. The discussion also touches on the often misunderstood 'religious spirit' that can alienate rather than heal, and how Jesus' example of grace and truth continues to draw people in.
Parents struggling with their children's addiction will find solace in the father's decision to let his son go, understanding that sometimes, stepping back is the hardest yet most loving action. By the end of this episode, listeners are left with a powerful reminder that no matter how far one strays, there is always a path back to love and acceptance.
