This podcast is a story of redemption. Many people have heard the story of the Prodigal son in Scripture. The son left home, spent all his inheritance in wayward living and debauchery and finally awoke to the realization that the servants in his father’s house were living a much better life than he was living and so he decided to return to his father’s house. The father embraced his son, all was forgiven. The father gave his son a robe, a ring and new sandals, artifacts that all symbolized acceptance and reinstatement in the family.  Herein this podcast is a story of a father who was at best absent as a father in relationship to his son. The father and his brother were living large in South Florida as drug dealers. Despite the fact as successful drug dealers they enjoyed a rich lifestyle neither brother was a good father to their family. This podcast is discussed from the son’s perspective. His father was not there for him for the first 16 years of his life. Then an event happened: his father was caught and thrown in prison for 27 years. Imagine what it must have been like having an absentee father to start your life and then having him thrown in prison for 27 years after that, how would you feel?  Nonetheless, come listen to how God worked out a reconnection between father and son. The father returned to his son’s home and now lives with his son and wife and grandchildren. This is a story of redemption. This is story we all can learn from. Whether a son returns home to his father, a child reconnects with his parents or in this case a father returns to his son a reconnection is made and it’s a heartwarming true story of the Father’s Heart of God in action!    Come and listen, enjoy, and connect with God Your Father’s Perspective!
