Becoming Fully Alive: Recent Episodes
Ascension Knoxville
This episode on Love takes a fresh look at human nature as born of Love, for Love, so inhabit Love in and with all things. It also reconsiders Jesus's parable often called the parable of the "prodigal son," and asks whether it might better be understood as the parable of Prodigal Love - a mode of loving that squanders everything for the beloved.
