Can you lose your identity as a child of the King? A princess dresses in rags, eats spoiled food, and wanders beyond the castle walls — but is she still royalty? Dave Scherrer tells an original Kingdom parable that asks one question three times, and the answer changes everything. In this episode, Dave introduces Princess Lauriana — the only daughter of the King of kings. Her curiosity leads her from the castle basement to the kitchen scraps to life outside the walls among thieves. At every step, Dave pauses to ask: "Is she still a princess?" The answer is always yes. Because identity isn't determined by behavior — it's determined by birth. And the King never stops watching for His daughter to come home. === CHAPTERS === 0:00 Introduction — The King of Kings 0:45 The Castle and the Kingdom 1:30 Meet Princess Lauriana 2:15 The Basement Discovery — Dressed in Rags 3:15 First Question: Is She Still a Princess? 4:00 The Kitchen — Eating Spoiled Food 5:00 Second Question: Is She Still a Princess? 5:30 The Tunnel — Beyond the Walls 6:15 Third Question: Is She Still a Princess? 6:45 The King Watches for Her Return 7:15 The Kingdom of God Is Like This === CONNECT WITH US === Website: https://100foldministries.org Subscribe to the Newsletter: https://100foldministries.org/subscribe Email Dave: dave@100foldministries.org === SCRIPTURE REFERENCES === Luke 15:20 — The father watching for his prodigal son 1 John 3:1 — See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God Romans 8:38-39 — Nothing can separate us from the love of God Galatians 4:6-7 — You are no longer a slave, but God's child and heir Ephesians 1:5 — He predestined us for adoption to sonship 2 Timothy 2:13 — If we are faithless, He remains faithful === ABOUT THIS PODCAST === Kingdom Offerings is the podcast of 100 Fold Ministries, where Dave Scherrer unpacks the offerings of Scripture with a special emphasis on the Gospel of the Kingdom.
