ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When a child walks away, a mother’s heart doesn’t stop loving—it starts longing. 💔
This conversation with Erica Wiggenhorn reminded me that the “messy middle” isn’t wasted. God is still working, still waiting, still making a way back.If you’re carrying grief, shame, or righteous indignation, you’re not alone.
The Father of Luke 15 shows us what love looks like when the story is still unfinished: watch, wait, pray, and keep holding the chair. Check out Erica's new book, Loving Your Wayward Child, in Shannon's Amazon Storefront HERE.
