Prodigal Son Returns to God, Reads Mother’s Letter

Shawn's testimony begins with a young man's drift from faith—and a phone call where his earthly father said "I love you" before he could speak a single word. Forty-two years later, just ahead of Mother's Day, Sean is reunited with the birth mother who had prayed one faithful prayer for him every day since 1983. He shares how his 9-year-old son Ezra asked the bedtime question that opened the door, how Joshua 1:9 was the only clue he had carried for decades, and reads his birth mother's letter on camera. A powerful witness to God's faithfulness, a mother's persistent prayer, and the identity we find only in Christ.
