The Prodigal Son: A Father's Role in Addiction Recovery

God loves you and wants to radically restore you to a position of sonship, to adopt you into his family, to give you his robe of righteousness, the righteousness of Christ
Imagine the heartbreak and hope intertwined in the story of the prodigal son. In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection Podcast', Dr. Mark E. Shaw unpacks the father's pivotal role in the parable from Luke 15, drawing parallels to addiction recovery within families.

He also touches on the importance of prayer and the celebration of forgiveness in supporting loved ones struggling with addiction. If you or someone you care about is battling addiction, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
