Digging Deeper | Loving Our Prodigals Home
A simple, practical way to live out the truths from this week’s magazine.
Dear Friends,
When someone you love walks away from faith, we can experience a slow, quiet grief—a mixture of fear, longing, and deep love that keeps you awake at night and praying in the middle of the day.
In this week’s magazine, Carla Gasser offers five practical ways to pray for the prodigals in Your life. More inspiration can be found in the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11–32). It isn’t just a tale of a wayward child. It’s a revelation of the Father's heart—a heart that watches the road, waits with compassion, and runs to embrace even before repentance is complete.
This week, as we carry the ache of children who have walked away from the faith, let’s take a deeper look at God’s posture toward the prodigal—and toward us.
