When Augustine put on this prodigal lens to look at himself, he had an epiphany. This narrative frame would reframe everything and explain what had puzzled him; it would give him concepts to name what had been gnawing away at him and permission to be honest about his disappointment with what everyone else saw as “success.”
Isnt this what evangelistic preaching does or should do? 'step inside this story to see life from a different angle. See if you can dare to ignore this complete re-orientation.Be honest - doesnt it put its finger on everything you've ever thought & everything you've ever known?
