The story of the Prodigal Son reminds us that sometimes, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Like the son who ran away and wrecked his life, we too can wander far from our Father. Yet when we come to our senses and turn back, there is always a way home. Our Heavenly Father meets us with grace—covering our shame, restoring our identity, and setting us free. No matter how far we’ve gone or how long we’ve been away, Jesus welcomes us home—redeemed, restored, and renewed.

Wrecked. YET. Renewed.
