Prodigal The Podcast
🎙️ Prodigal: The Podcast — Religion, Faith Deconstruction & Spiritual Freedom
Prodigal: The Podcast explores the intersection of religion, faith, politics, culture, and spiritual reconstruction in modern society.
Hosted by Don Jackson and Big Sean, the show features honest conversations about faith deconstruction, belief systems, religious institutions, and the search for meaning beyond traditional church structures.
Inspired by Don Jackson’s upcoming book Prodigal: Leaving Church and Finding God, the podcast creates space for people questioning inherited beliefs while exploring deeper spirituality, identity, and truth.
Each episode brings together diverse voices — including theologians, psychologists, philosophers, scientists, former pastors, and spiritual seekers — to examine how faith evolves in a changing world.
