Ep. 112: Loving the Prodigal: Walking in Hope When Your Child Chooses a Different Path


Listen Later

How do we keep hope alive when our child’s path doesn’t look like the one we envisioned? In this week’s episode, we’re opening our hearts to the struggle of loving unconditionally and holding onto faith—even when our child questions, doubts, or drifts.


Here’s what we’re diving into:

💬 How do we balance unconditional love with firm, loving boundaries?

🙏 When hope feels fragile, what promises of God do we cling to?

🤲 Practical ways to surrender our children’s journey to God, trusting His plan.


With verses like 2 Peter 3:9 and 3 John 1:4 guiding us, this episode is a reminder that while we wait, God works. Even in the waiting, we’re not alone. 🌱

And as Kate Battistelli says: “God’s dare often feels risky because it’s outside our control, but He reminds us to be patient in the waiting, knowing that the story isn’t over yet.”


Grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and join us for a conversation filled with encouragement, wisdom, and love that never lets go. Tune in now to the Mom to Mom podcast and bring a friend who might need this message too! ❤️
