What if the greatest obstacle to someone’s future isn’t their past—but the people who refuse to let them leave it behind?
In Part 2 of The Danger of the Permanent Label, Jared Harding Wilson explores the spiritual consequences of defining people by old mistakes, past versions of themselves, and labels they no longer deserve. Drawing on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, teachings from Jeffrey R. Holland and Dallin H. Oaks, and examples from scripture, this Spiritual Sunday message examines why Christ sees potential where others see permanence—and why we should be careful not to write someone else’s final chapter before God has finished their story.
