Prodigals digs deeply into each line from Jesus's famous parable about the prodigal son, inviting all readers―those down on their luck or high on their horse―to identify as prodigals.

Everything starts with identity. Our identity affects what we see, value, believe, and act upon. And no identity is more fundamental than "we are children of God" (Romans 8:16). But what we often fail to understand is that our heavenly heritage is both a fact and a choice.
The challenges of the modern world make devoting our whole selves to following the Lord and His servants increasingly difficult. Too often we fail to examine the forces influencing...

You are not the first sheep to follow the Shepherd; and you will not be the last.
For 3,000 years, people of faith have found meaning and comfort in the 23rd Psalm. This widely known song has had an impact across time and culture. But in the twenty-first century, this psalm appears idle. For many, it only serves as a short reading at the end of funerals. How did this happen?
