A note from our founder

We’re Jay and Ginny Burns, and we know the heartbreak of watching a child run from God, from family, and from a life of peace. Our son was the joy of our lives, but as he grew older, he struggled with addiction, and our family was thrown into chaos. We didn’t know what to do, and like many parents, we enabled without realizing it. It wasn’t until we stopped trying to fix everything and truly surrendered to God that healing began—not just for our son, but for us. That’s why we started Prodigal—to walk alongside parents like you. This free course offers biblical wisdom, real community, and practical tools to help you find hope in the midst of the storm. You are not alone. God can use this season to draw you closer to Him, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
