Listen "347 The Father’s Invitation and the Older Son’s Decision"
Episode Synopsis
Tuesday, October 1: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we dive into the often-overlooked part of the Parable of the Prodigal Son: the older brother. While his younger sibling’s return is celebrated, the older son wrestles with feelings of resentment and pride, refusing to join the party. Jesus leaves us with a cliffhanger—what will the older brother choose? We'll explore the cultural context behind the parable, why Jesus told this story to the Pharisees, and how we, like the older brother, often struggle with self-righteousness. Ultimately, the Father invites all of us into His grace-filled celebration. The only question is, how will you choose to respond?
