- Hey there, welcometo The Superbook Show.

- AJ, I don't think I should be hosting

the show with you today.

- What are you talking about?

- I haven't felt very close to God lately.

- How come?

- Well, I'm getting moreinvolved with my soccer team,

and with my schedule getting busier,

I just haven't had timefor my usual quiet times.

- Oh no.

- Yeah, and since Ihaven't been constantly

reading my Bible, I'm thinking,maybe I don't belong here.

- Nope!

No way, this isn't happening.

Look, I get that you're upset,

but I'm not gonna let you think that you

can't be a Superbook host anymore.

And you know what?

It's time for a Bible story.

(whooshing)

Okay, you know the parableabout the prodigal son, right?

- The son who was reckless with his money?

- What?

- That's what prodigal means.

Reckless with money.

- Oh, that makes so much more sense now.

(chuckles)

But yes, that's the one.

- I'm not reckless with my money.

How is this gonna help me?

- Well, you know the restof the parable, right?

- Yeah.

- All right then, I'll be the dad,

and you'll be my son.

- Okay.

If you wanna follow alongin your Superbook Bible app,

we are looking Lukechapter 15, 11 through 32.

(clapping and horn blowing)

- Ah, my son.

Isn't it nice how we livein such wealth and comfort?

When I die, you and your brotherwill inherit all of this.

- Yeah, about that, could Ihave my share now, please?

- (gasps) Are you sayingwhat I think you're saying?

- I mean, yeah, I kinda wishthat you were already dead.

So could I have my inheritance now?

- Well, if that's how youfeel, then just take it.

- Thanks and cool.

I'm moving out by the way.

All right, freedom.

What to do next?

I'm gonna buy a Nintendo Switch,and a million games for it,

and cheese puffs, lotsand lots of cheese puffs.

- [Robot] 10 hours later.

- Cheese puffs!

Must

have

more Cheese puffs!

(whistle)

Stay.

What do you mean I'm out of money?

How am I gonna get more cheese puffs?

(whistle and bang)

The stores are out of cheese puffs?

It's a cheese puff famine.

No!

This is the worst day of my life.

I wanna go home.

But I can't go home.

It was the whole, heyDad, I wish you were dead.

That's not my best moment.

(growling)Oh.

Oh, but I'm so hungry.

Well, my dad's a nice guy.

Maybe going back home won't be so bad.

(twinkling)

Hey Dad, I'm sorry for being rude earlier.

- My son, I'm so glad you returned.

- Really?

- So I could throw youto the pit of despair.

(screaming)

- When did this get here?(screaming)

I'm still falling.

(screaming)Oh!

Whew.

I can't go back home.

I don't wanna be throwninto the pit of despair.

(growling)

(moans)

Oh, but I'm still so hungry.

My dad's servants have cheese puffs.

Maybe he won't throw me into the pit

if I offer to work at a servant.

- [Robot] Seven hours later.

- My son has been gonefor such a long time.

I really hope he comes back soon.

I miss him so much.

- Hey.- My son!

I've been worried sick about you.

Oh, where have you been?

Why do you smell like processed cheese.

Oh, I've missed you.

- Dad, I'm sorry for the way I acted.

I spent all your money.

Please don't throw meinto the pit of despair.

- The pit of what?

- Nevermind.

Can I please work as one of your servants?

- One of my servants?

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

You're my son and I love you.

Let's have a party to celebrate.

(clapping and horn blowing)

So do you get it now?

You will always belongto The Superbook Show,

and we will always love you.

And more importantly--

- God loves me too.

- And misses you too.

- And I miss spending time with God.

Time with my savior shouldn't be the thing

that suffers when I'm busy.

- And even if it does,remember, you're a child of God,

and nothing can take that away from you.
