The Prodigal Son: Finding Hope and Healing in Recovery

I think sometimes it's a lot easier to find love, maybe on the street or in an alley, than it is to find it in the church, because we're concerned about behavior and god's not concerned about it.
Father Kevin Jones takes listeners on a heartfelt journey through the story of The Return of the Prodigal Son in this episode of Recovery Podcast. Drawing parallels between the biblical tale and the struggles faced by those battling addiction, Father Jones offers a fresh perspective on recovery. He delves into how our relationship with God can shape our self-identity and highlights the pitfalls of legalistic self-righteousness, which can hinder the path to healing.
With an emphasis on the transformative power of love and forgiveness, Father Jones sheds light on how these elements can lead to profound changes in our lives. He also touches upon the role of the Church as a supportive community for those seeking recovery, stressing that God's love is a powerful force for change. This episode is a reminder that embracing love and forgiveness can pave the way to true freedom and transformation.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone else, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration.
