In this episode of Full Surrender, we’re diving deep into what happens when we turn justice into an idol. When we demand fairness, retribution, or accountability, but leave Jesus out of the picture. Often people seek Justice in a way that does not honor the Lord. Using the story of the woman caught in adultery , we explore how Jesus redefined justice through mercy, truth, and restoration. While the world says “stone her,” Jesus says, “Neither do I condemn you go and sin no more.” This episode challenges us to look inward:

Are we seeking God’s justice, or are we building our own version of it? Are we pursuing truth with love, or fighting for outcomes that make us feel righteous and right? Examine your heart. Because justice without Jesus isn’t justice it’s self-righteousness dressed up as truth.

In today’s episode of Full Surrender, we’re diving deep into Luke 15 but not to talk about the prodigal son. We’re talking about the other one. The one who stayed. The one who obeyed. The one who worked. And yet, the one whose heart was still far from the Father and didn’t understand the father’s heart. So often when we hear this story, our focus is on the son who ran away the one who wasted everything and came crawling back. But Jesus didn’t stop there. He told this story to the Pharisees and the scribes the religious, the faithful, the ones who thought they were already right with God. The older son represents the heart that does everything right on the outside but quietly resents the Father on the inside. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the danger of self-righteousness that subtle pride that convinces us we’ve earned something from God. The spirit that says, “I’ve been faithful, I’ve been obedient, I’ve done everything right… so why do they get grace?” It’s the same heart Jesus confronted in Luke 18:9–14, when the Pharisee stood praying to himself, thanking God that he wasn’t like other people. It’s the same pride He exposed in Matthew 21:31–32, where religious men rejected repentance while sinners ran toward it. Jesus told these stories not to shame the rebellious, but to humble the religious. Because in God’s eyes, both sons were lost one outside the house, and one inside it. And sometimes, the ones who look the most faithful are the ones who understand grace the least. We’ll unpack what it means to serve God without surrender, to obey without intimacy, and to work for the Father while missing His heart completely.

Hi guys!!! welcome back to Full Surrender!!! Today we are diving into the story of the prodigal son. This story isn’t just about a son who ran away it’s about a Father whose kindness never changed. The Prodigal Son took everything, left home, and wanted nothing to do with his father or his family. Yet even in the distance, when he had nothing left to offer, he remembered the goodness of his father and started his way back home. That’s the Gospel. God longs for us even when we’ve walked away. You don't have to be "Whole" to come bacl. He runs toward us the moment we turn back. In this episode, we’re talking about the kindness of God the kind that welcomes us home, clothes us in righteousness, and calls us sons and daughters even when we feel unworthy.
