S10 E12: The One About The Parable Of The Prodigal Son

Updated: Dec 11, 2023


In the last in my series on the parables of Jesus, James Holt joins us to discuss 'The Parable Of The Prodigal Son'. We discuss why he loves the parable so much, the significance at the time and the various interpretations of what it means today. We also consider how you can use it in the classroom.


We don't actually discuss what the word 'prodigal' means , which we probably should have done.


Prodigal means someone who spends money or uses resources freely and recklessly; who is wastefully extravagant! You'll see why!


The story is read by one of my year 11 students, Scarlett (she slayed it!)


And the book that James refers to is 'Short Stories By Jesus' by Amy-Jill Levine;

How to support The RE Podcast

I want to continue to create the RE Podcast as a FREE resource for teachers. However, there are runnings costs. I have to pay a monthly fee to Buzzsprout to host the podcast, I have to pay a fee for the website and the email address, I have to pay a fee to riverside fm to let me record interviews, plus the recording equipment has been a huge investment and needs updating..

There are THREE ways to support;

1) A one off gift at my Buy Me A Coffee page

2) Become and Patreon and give monthly where you will get extra content for FREE.

3) If you can't support financially, please leave a review on apple podcasts
