What if the prayers you’ve been whispering for years are beginning to be answered—and the church needs to be ready for the homecoming? We sit down with Sis. Billie Jean Bishop, co-founder of Partners in Prayer, to trace a path from personal tragedy to a nationwide movement of intercession for prodigals. Her story carries a fierce tenderness: a miracle-filled conversion, a mother’s grief after losing her son Christopher, and the costly decision to forgive the man involved in the crash that took his life. Through it all runs a bright thread—God’s comfort is real, His sovereignty can be trusted, and He is calling exiled sons and daughters back.

Reports of returning backsliders now arrive almost daily: adult children, teens, even grandparents. But the call is bigger than celebration; it’s preparation. Restoration requires more than an altar moment. It needs discipleship, practical help, and a community that welcomes with robes and rings rather than suspicion. Billie Jean names the spiritual battle shaping families, the unique pressure on fathers, and the simple tools that build resilience—praying scripture, blessing instead of lecturing, and showing up in covenant agreement.
