Why do we so often look for life outside the place we belong? This week, we explore the moment the younger son leaves home and what that choice reveals about our own hearts. Even when we run away, home is always open. Many of us search for love, purpose, and acceptance in places that were never meant to give them. This message invites us to listen again for the voice that calls us beloved and to r...
