Rob Westbrook | Father's Day 2025 | Father’s Day: Stepping into the Family Name

What if the story of the Prodigal Son isn't just about a "rebellious kid," but about the weight and responsibility of a name? In this Father’s Day message from 2025, we explore the Hebrew cultural context of sonship—specifically what it meant to reach the age of 30 and be "placed" into the full authority of the family name.We look at the scandalous request of the younger son and the even more scandalous response of the father. Moving away from religious performance, we discuss how God isn't looking for "good behavior," but for sons and daughters who understand their identity. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your way back into God's good graces, this episode will challenge you to see a Father who has already paid the ransom and is simply waiting to reconcile you to Himself.
