In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The RADcast, Greg, Carrie, and Matt unpack one of the most impactful parables in the Bible—the Parable of the Prodigal Son—and discover that the story isn't just about the son who left... it's also about the son who stayed.
What starts as a conversation about parenting, graduation parties, and the next generation quickly evolves into a raw discussion about programming, success, self-worth, people-pleasing, and the lifelong pursuit of approval.
In this episode:
The surprising lessons hidden in the elder son
Why many high-achievers struggle with worthiness
How childhood programming shapes adult behavior
The difference between religion and spirituality
Parenting without projecting your own fears
Letting your children discover their own path
Why success means something different to everyone
The connection between gratitude and extreme ownership
How to recognize the emotional loops that keep repeating in your life
Learning to surrender control while still taking responsibility
Matt shares a vulnerable reflection on his struggle identifying with the elder son—the person who always tried to do the right thing, work harder, and earn approval—while Greg and Carrie offer powerful insights into self-awareness, parenting, and trusting God's plan.
This conversation is a reminder that growth isn't about perfection. It's about recognizing the stories you've inherited, questioning the beliefs you've accepted, and finding the courage to become who God created you to be.
Are you living from moral conformity or authenticity?
What belief, expectation, or piece of programming do you need to examine?
