“ THE PRODIGAL SON – The Journey Home to the Love of God ”
Mark Anthony Lord
THE MYSTICAL, MIRACULOUS METAPHYSICAL BIBLE
Ancient Stories. Inner Awakening.
with Mark Anthony Lord
There was a time when the Bible felt frightening to me. I knew it as a book that was used to shame, condemn, control, and divide.
Then, while studying at Unity Village in the early 1990s, I was introduced to Metaphysical Bible Interpretation, and everything changed.
For the first time, the stories came alive.
No longer trapped in literalism, fear, or the impossible pressure to defend every word as historical fact, I discovered something far more transformational: these stories are our stories. The characters, places, battles, betrayals, miracles, and homecomings all represent states of consciousness within us.
They reveal the soul’s journey from fear to love, from separation to awakening, from forgetting to remembering who we truly are.
Metaphysical Bible study healed my relationship with scripture and opened my heart to the deeper love, wisdom, and presence of God woven throughout it all.
It is one of the greatest honors of my life to bring this transformational teaching to Unity of Houston for this special two-week series.
Week Two: THE PRODIGAL SON – The Journey Home to the Love of God
One of the most healing and powerful stories ever told. Explore the deeper meaning of the prodigal son, the “good” son, and the father as aspects of your own consciousness. Discover the spiritual meaning of inheritance, the journey home to Self, and the radical revelation that God has never withheld love from you and never will. This is the story of awakening from shame and remembering that you have always belonged in the heart of God.
Whatever your relationship with the Bible may be, whether it has been deeply meaningful to you or distant, confusing, or even painful, this series will invite you into a completely new experience of these sacred stories. One that heals instead of harms. One that awakens instead of condemns. One that reveals the presence of Love, wisdom, and Divine guidance woven throughout it all.
I cannot wait to share these teachings with you and explore together the deeper spiritual journey hidden within these timeless stories.
