Parents of prodigal children often suffer in silence, asking themselves over and over again: What did I do wrong? Dr. Doug Weiss brings powerful hope and biblical clarity by exposing the lie that a child’s rebellion is always the parent’s fault. With over 30 years of counseling experience, Dr. Weiss explains that even faithful, godly parents—who raised their children in the Word, modeled Christ, and nurtured them with love—can still watch their child walk away. The reason isn’t bad parenting. It’s free will.

In this message, you’ll hear real stories of parents who carried shame until they realized that their child’s choices were not their responsibility. You’ll see how free will interrupts the “cause-and-effect” formula that so many parents believe in. Some kids from broken homes turn out faithful, while some raised in strong Christian families stray. The difference comes down to choice—not parental failure.

Dr. Weiss also shows the path back: how prodigals first turn their hearts back to God, and then return to their families, just as in Luke 15. Parents can learn to release false guilt, trust God’s process, and hold onto grace while their children find their way. If you’ve been crushed by the weight of shame or questions about your child’s rebellion, this video will remind you: you are not alone, and you are not to blame.
