When You Love a Prodigal Podcast: Grace for the Wilderness

“You can discover help and hope for your journey, right here.”

Fear. Worry. Anger. Blame. Loving a prodigal is a long, desperate journey. But God intends to use your valley to fill you with grace and hope. In each episode, author and speaker Judy Douglass will guide you through lessons she’s learned in her son's 15-year prodigal journey to help mold your spiritual life.

episode one hundred forty six

Our world is full of fear. Wars, earthquakes, terrorists, volcanoes, racial strife, hurricanes, fires, mass murders, floods, bombs, tornadoes, disease….did I just raise your fear level?

And when you love a prodigal, fears multiply: Is he safe? In jail? Overdosed? Will she survive? Why is she rejecting me? Will I ever get to meet my grandchildren? Where have I gone wrong?

Afraid. Fearful. Even terrified.

Today is our first episode of Fear Not, leading up to our June 2 Worldwide Prodigal Prayer Day. You will hear lots of help to face fears. And be sure to check out the Resources—lots more help for you

episode one hundred forty five

Most of us, as we encounter challenges with our loved ones, try to handle it by ourselves. But as time goes on, we often need more help—professional counseling, medical attention, interventions, spiritual guidance, and various kinds of programs.

Today I’m chatting with Stefani Monn, who went through a program called House of Hope—the same one our son went through. Stefani is coming to tell us about her journey before, during and after those months. I heard her share a bit at a HOH event I attended—she said “House of Hope saved my life.”

episode one hundred forty four

Last week we talked about four gifts God gives us during our prodigal journey—gifts that sustain and equip us for all the challenges. Did one of those gifts—God Himself, love, mercy, or grace--bless, encourage, or help you?

Today we are going to talk about four more gifts our gracious God offers us—valuable resources on our journey to help us with our loved ones and to appreciate the good-work our Lord continues to do in each of us.
