What does it look like to come home to God after a life marked by longing, loss, and searching?
In this deeply moving conversation, we sit down with Deborah Rutherford to explore her poetic memoir, Prodigal Daughter—a lyrical and vulnerable journey from a stolen childhood and the allure of “gold and gowns” to a sacred rediscovery of identity, healing, and belonging.
Told through intimate verse, Deborah’s story unfolds in five powerful movements—Innocence, Strife, Awakening, Restoration, and Dancing—each one tracing the quiet, persistent pursuit of Grace.
From unexpected places like a rain-soaked hotel room in Budapest to peaceful walks beneath the Georgia pines, her story reminds us that God meets us in both the chaos and the stillness.
This episode is for anyone who has wrestled with their past, questioned their worth, or wondered if they’ve gone too far to return. Deborah’s voice becomes a gentle companion, echoing the truth: you are never beyond the reach of Love.
