About

The Idea

Prodigal Magazine is a dynamic men’s portal site for men of integrity. It aims to be a cornerstone for Christian men, a place for men after God’s heart to find informative, relevant, cutting edge information on lifestyle, relationships, career, pop culture and their walk with God.

The Goal

The goal of Prodigal Magazine is to become a community of men that are willing to take a journey of discovering and excavating truth, just as it is, naked, raw and often difficult.

The Authors

This magazine is a READER DRIVEN magazine, as you will notice most of the articles are by men just like you and me, not professional authors or doctors, but real guys dealing with real everyday issues.

The Community

We are not associated with any particular denomination. We exist only to start a conversation amongst men. Christian, Non-Christian, Jewish, Catholic etc. Chew on it, wrestle with it, disagree with it, or add to it.

We want you to be part of this profound movement, as we question, probe, test, reveal and question again the foundation of our walk with God and the daily way we live our life.

The Reality

We are all Prodigals, living in this paradox of God’s masterpiece and Satan’s battleground, lost and often separated from our brothers and fathers. It is time that we band together, tear down the walls, spit out the spoons that feed us, and discover our own holy nature, one we are so passionate about, it actually changes the way we live.

 

My Prodigal Story… (in 200 words)

  They Knew I was going to be trouble…

  • Simple and Faith-filled home
  • Knew “OK – Obey”, and that Jesus was in my heart
  • Thought I had to Pass Optimus Prime on my way to heaven
  • Child of the 80’s – No Fear shirts taught me to take on the world

 

 

A Father’s Love

  • He showed me how to be a great man, husband, father
  • He was my biggest fan
  • Taught me….we don’t have all the answers but God does and all we can do is trust Him.
  • If my heavenly Father is anything like my earthly father, I can’t wait to meet Him.

 

 

Caught up in the World

  • Soon I was too cool.
  • God, Dad, Family…Goodbye
  • Hello, Partying, money and women…..and then more partying.
  • I was on the fast-track to destruction

 

Sickness and the Far East

  • My dad is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and my world collapses.
  • I hit rock bottom and God is the only thing still around.
  • Live in Japan for 6 months in a 6×6 room, with a laptop.
  • Sleepless for 3 straight nights, as God urged me to reach out to other Prodigals….Prodigal Magazine set to launch Sept. 1 2005

 

Coming Home

  • Somewhat Like Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, my father’s faith in the face of suffering saved my life from going down the wrong path.
  • Just as in the prodigal story, my father and God welcomed me back with open arms.
  • On THE DAY, Prodigal Magazine launched…..Donald Wenell, went to be with the Lord….and the mission of my life will forever be changed. 

I pray this magazine honors the man he was and the God he always pointed me too.
