Cancelled By Their Kids: Episode 879


Listen Later

Serious strain between parents and adult children, plus why church history matters, and should you do a missions trip when your parents disapprove?  

Featured musical artist: Jonathan Cain 

Roundtable: “Mom and Dad, We’re Done”

The holidays should be a joyous time of gathering with family and friends, but all too often they are marked by absence, distance and strife. For some, the choice to “cancel” family members — including your own parents — brings confusion, hurt and relational wreckage. Our guests this week are parents with strained or non-existent relationships with their adult children. They share the details behind their unique journeys, their hope for reconciliation, and how they’re choosing to rely on the Lord as they wait.
