349 Laboring Hard but Distant from Gods Heart

from The Daily Grind · host John Spencer

Thursday, October 3: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we dive deep into Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son, focusing on a part of the story that often gets overlooked—the older son. While the younger son’s rebellion is obvious, the older son’s lostness is much more subtle and, in many ways, more dangerous. We explore how his devotion to duty kept him distant from his father, just as much as his brother’s reckless living. This episode will challenge you to examine your own heart and ask if your service for God is keeping you from intimacy with Him. Featuring insights from Dallas Willard, we reflect on what truly matters: not what we accomplish for God, but the relationship we build with Him. ⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
