Episode A Heritage Worth Passing On: Ben on Fatherhood, Being Found & Never Having to Leave
In this episode, Pablo and Ayo sit down with Ben to trace a thread through his life: the spiritual heritage he received, and the one he's determined to pass on. Ben is honest about leaving the Lord and coming back — and about the deep hope that his own children would be raised in a way that they would be so rooted that they will never need to leave to be brought back. He shares how he was found again: not through a program, but through the parents of the boys he cared for, who saw a lost sheep, took him in, and cared for him so completely he had no way to run. That care, he realizes, was itself part of his heritage.
From reading Genesis 22 soon after his son was born and suddenly understanding the Father's heart, to being saved a "second time" at a junior high retreat, to the boldness of telling the enemy that what he remembers God has already forgiven and forgotten — this conversation is genuine and honest, from a man who knows what it is to be brought home and wants to give his children a home they never have to leave.
