BEST OF: A Wilkerson Family Testimony: Prodigal Children Overcoming Addiction
Parents in the church can feel ashamed of having a prodigal child. They may have actually been condemned for their child’s suffering or wandering path.

While this time can be immensely painful for parents and families, God is always faithful. Gary, Kelly, and Evan talk about how God redeemed and healed their own relationships and lives through what seemed like a very dark period.

Let Jesus Be Your Everything
The Lord desires intimacy with his dear children. He longs to be shut up alone with the love of his heart. “When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6).
