Welcome to the Holy Reads Podcast, in today’s episode, we explore The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller, a fresh look at the well-known parable of the prodigal son. Keller dives deep into the story, revealing how both the younger and older brothers represent different approaches to life—and how each, in their own way, needs reconciliation with God.

Through the lens of this parable, Keller challenges us to examine our relationship with God, exploring themes of grace, forgiveness, and self-righteousness. Whether we are lost in rebellion like the younger son, or trapped in moral conformity like the older brother, Keller reminds us that both paths ultimately lead to spiritual lostness—and only God’s extravagant grace can restore us.

Join your host Michael as he unpacks the lessons of mercy, justice, and reconciliation found in this powerful story. Whether you're struggling with pride, self-righteousness, or spiritual disconnection, this episode will inspire you to reflect on God's boundless grace and how it transforms our lives.
