“We are all prodigals.” With this statement, Greg Ross Taylor encourages us to take a new look at perhaps the greatest parable Jesus ever told. In this episode we talk to Greg about his new book Prodigals: Finding Home When We’ve Lost the Way (Leafwood Publishers). Rather than dividing the world into prodigals and nonprodigals, Greg invites us to find ourselves in the teaching of Jesus as either younger or elder siblings. In this way we discover a new meaning for prodigal—anyone who accepts they have a sinful human nature and turns toward the love of home, the place where we find a deeper relationship with God.
Greg Ross Taylor is a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement. Proceeds from Prodigals benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Greg is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. Greg is married to Jill Smiley Taylor, who is a professor of math at Tulsa Community College. They have three grown children and a grandchild named Samuel Ross.
