Parenting a Prodigal (Part 2) | The Turning Point Every Parent Prays For | Chasing Assurance #45
Chasing Giants with Don Higgins
About
In Episode 45 of the Chasing Assurance Podcast, Terry and Terry Peer continue their powerful series on Parenting a Prodigal—diving deeper into what happens when someone walks away from their values… and what it really takes to come back.
This episode focuses on the turning point—the moment Jesus described in Luke 15 as “when he came to his senses.” What leads someone to that place? Why do some prodigals have to hit rock bottom? And what role do humility and repentance play in true life change?
Through real-life application and biblical truth, this conversation offers hope and clarity for anyone dealing with a prodigal—whether it’s a child, friend, or even your own story.
You’ll also hear a powerful Lester’s Feet segment showing how generosity is changing lives in real, tangible ways.
