The Parable of the Lost Son ... or is it? (with Joe McCulley and Kyle Lammott)
December 10, 2019
Alastair Roberts
Today I am joined by two Theopolis Junior Fellows, Joe McCulley and Kyle Lammott, to discuss Luke 15:11-32—a parable perhaps best known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
Within the episode we also talk about the Junior Fellows program, which is open for applicants for 2020-2021: https://theopolisinstitute.com/junior-fellows-program/junior-fellows-application-active/.
