Tullian Tchividjian provides a link to a two-part interview of him on Family Life Today. In the interview, Tullian shares the story of how he turned his back on the deep faith of his family (Billy and Ruth Graham are his grandparents), until God by his grace brought him back home.
After listening to his story, I made this post on his blog:
Hey Tullian,
I listened to both parts of the interview. It’s a compelling story for many reasons, and it magnifies the Lord’s patience and mercy and grace.
The humorous highlight had to be hearing that your saintly grandmother would buy you ear-rings!
But something else struck me: I think the details of your story can be a real encouragement to parents of prodigals who live with the nagging sense of guilt — “if only we had been better parents…..”
But you made it clear that your parents’ lives and Christian faith were authentic, joyful and wise — but still they faced the heartbreak of a prodigal who rebelled. So I hope, among other things, that your story reassures and fortifies many godly, loving, wise parents (and siblings) who are still prayerfully waiting for their lost son or daughter to return home.
Peace,
Doug
