Where do we see despair in the Parable of the Prodigal Son? The Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller (Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas) joins Andy and Sarah for Part Two of a three-part series on his new book Finally Free: Lessons in the Parable of the Prodigal Son from Concordia Publishing House. He shares how despair is a slavery, specifically a theological slavery, the relationship between proclamation of the Word and faith, what we see when the younger son returns to his father’s home, and what true repentance is.
