Dear Prodigal Magazine Reader,

Guess, what? We have good news about Prodigal Magazine!

Since 2005 Prodigal Magazine has been the place where you have come to get interesting, provocative and helpful information about technology, faith, culture and lifestyle.

But maybe you’ve noticed that things have been a little bit quiet around here for awhile.

That’s because Jason Wenell, founder of Prodigal Magazine, had and followed his vision for a company called The Table Project — and it turns out that being apart a successful company (not to mention being a husband and father) took up quite a bit of his time.

But this is where the good news comes in.

Jason didn’t want the magazine to die in his hands. So he offered to transfer ownership to us, the Vesterfelts! Maybe you know us, maybe you don’t. We’re a couple of blogging, writing and social media junkies who are passionate about doing ministry and bringing useful content to a community of readers.

Meet my husband, Darrell Vesterfelt, social media consultant, blogger and pastor who is passionate about communicating the gospel and about helping people tell their stories. He’s built and maintained several successful blogs over the years, and during the day he’s on staff with a church plant in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida called Shoreline Church.

Then there’s me, Allison. I’m a writer and former blogger who loves to read, write and learn things. I used to be a teacher but most of the learning and teaching I do now happens in a online “classroom” of sorts. I get fired up by contributing and creating useful information to add to a conversation.

Darrell and I, together, are really excited to expand the vision of Prodigal Magazine to reach not only Christian men, but Christian women as well. We know so many people — men and women — who are tired of talking about faith, life and culture as compartmentalized from their walk with God.

We want to talk about real things in a real way, without ignoring the truth of Jesus.

The new Prodigal tagline will read: “We are all sons and daughters.”

Prodigal Magazine will still be a place where you can expect useful, up to date information about faith, culture and life. We will also be featuring Prodigal stories. In fact, if you have a prodigal story you would like to share with us, and you want to be featured on the site, please consider submitting it here: Submit Your Story

We are so excited to get started. We hope is that this site will be a ministry to thousands or more who are seeking to know the truth about God in a world and culture that sometimes points us in the wrong direction.

You can also follow what we are doing from now until the re-launch on Twitter at @ProdigalMag

Please mind our mess. This site will be under construction for the better part of the month, but feel free to browse archives of the Magazine in the meantime.

Thanks

Allison Vesterfelt

Editor-in-chief
