About this episode
We challenge cultural Christianity and open up what counts as worship, using Drew Parker’s “Blame Jesus” to trace the Prodigal Son’s return and the shocking mercy of God. Grace replaces checklists, identity shifts from self-made to redeemed, and the gospel takes center stage. • the sword of the Spirit as our core weapon • expanding worship beyond contemporary styles • critique of “country music theology” and box-check faith • the reality of sin debt and need for propitiation • Drew Parker’s pivot from country tropes to gospel lyrics • Prodigal Son exegesis and the Father’s joy • Romans 5:8 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 applied to identity • why transformation invites the response “blame Jesus” • teaser for a pop song next in the series Before you go, if you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five star rating and review Support the show Want to connect?
