the prodigy to prodigal pipeline I used to be the very best christian there ever was the poster child of poster children now I’m on the playbill for Backsliders & Heretics what can I say?
I always thought of it in terms of the words my own spiritual abusers used against me which was ‘a waster of potential ‘ or ‘an investment with disappointing return’. But I absolutely love the correlation and highlighting the ‘easy’ way that those in privileged spiritual spaces can cut away others as if they are most worthy to sift.
Also, I love that your book is spreading into new hands. It’s so exciting!!! 💜💜💜
Yes, prodigal makes me think of one who has stubbornly set off into dangerous territory!
Yes!
the real (ha) definition makes the story even more radical and wonderful and your poem a well!
Thank you!! 🥰
Hey, congrats on getting your book into other peoples’ hands, scary as that is!!
I never knew that definition of prodigal until now. It’s fabulous and it makes sense why evangelicals would be terrified of it, poor souls.
Thank you! And yeah. 😎

I also think wayward. But I guess the prodigal son was wayward in those specific ways, so that also makes sense.
True!
