Live Like It's True {Bible Podcast}

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.

Leith Hoggard joins Shannon on the Live Like It's True podcast to talk about the difference between disgust for sin and a heart full of contempt—and how this relates to being "kinda judgy." Leith brings her wisdom as a Bible teacher, Bible study author, and one-on-one counselor and shares how we can identify the contempt in our own hearts and apply the mercy we've first received from Christ.
