The Value of Grandparents for Prodigals with Larry Fowler
New on the When You Love a Prodigal podcast I am thrilled to be a grandmother—of 10 fabulous grands. I have a great desire to be a positive contributor to their growth, wisdom, and lives. I especially desire to help them not become prodigals, or if they do, to encourage them to choose to step away from that path. Legacy Coalition is a great partner in these efforts. Legacy Coalition believes that grandparenting matters! Grandparents have so much potential to impact the youngest generations to follow Christ. And today’s podcast will be so helpful to assist grandparents in being a positive help in any prodigal journey.

The Navy and a Guitar with Justin Gambino, episode 173
It’s not often I interview someone who comes from Freeport, Texas, which was like a summer home for me in high school. As Justin and I talked we knew many of the same places. And I loved his redemptive story. He grew up in the church, chose some wrong friends, rescued by a discerning judge, a long stint in the Navy—and a guitar. You will love his Texas accent, his story, and a hopeful future.

Preparing for Prodigal Prayer Day, episode 172
On June 2, about 25 years ago, our prodigal, Josh, met Jesus. He was living at House of Hope, a nearby residential home for troubled teens. His house dad, Mike, loved him, prayed for him, sought to guide him into better life choices, and on June 2, 1997, he introduced our son to Jesus. That evening Mike baptized him in the nearby lake. Josh’s life changed then, and when he came home months later. He wanted to walk with God. But wrong friends and the trauma of his early life put him on a roller coaster. He would do well and make good choices for days, weeks, even months. Then down he would go for many months. The unpredictable cycle went on for 15 years.

Resisting the Enemy, episode 170
This might be the most helpful episode we’ve done on this podcast. Loving a prodigal can be like a roller coaster—the ups and downs, the unexpected turns. The dashed hopes. In our last episode we looked at our persistent enemy—a roaring lion we know as Satan. This week we will look at what an opportunist he is, and ways we can resist him.

Can You See the Lion Stalking?, episode 169
When you love a prodigal, you get used to the lion stalking. Sometimes it seems that, no matter what you do to rescue your prodigal, to win her heart, to capture his mind, nothing works. Even when your prodigal is seeking to change patterns, to make better choices, to turn things around, they can’t catch a break. Someone is opposing them. His name is Satan.

In Just the Right Time episode 168
One of the hardest parts of living with and loving a prodigal is the waiting, isn’t it. I have said many times: I thought it was time! Isn’t it time, Lord? Are we doing this again? How long, Lord? We hate the uncertainty, fear the possibilities. And grow wearing in the waiting….
