TEN & TWO | Ep. 22 — Raising a Prodigal Child

Guests: Pastors Frank & Kathleen Nevarez, C3 Cottonwood (Cottonwood, AZ) Every parent who has raised a child knows the ache of watching them make choices you can't control. For Pastors Frank and Kathleen Nevarez, that ache came with a unique weight — leading a church while watching their own son, Daniel, walk away from the faith they'd built their home on.

In this episode, Frank and Kathleen open up about the years Daniel spent wrestling with addiction, identity, and distance from God — and the harder, quieter years they spent choosing to keep loving him without losing themselves in the process. They share what it costs to shepherd a congregation while your own household feels like it's unraveling and what prayer actually looked like when hope felt thin. This isn't a tidy story. It's a real one — about a father and mother who refused to stop believing, and a son who found his way home (and now in ministry). Whether you're currently in the middle of your own waiting season or watching someone you love drift, this conversation is for you.

Main Scripture: Luke 15:11–24 — the father who watches, waits, and runs.
