Ep. 12: What to Do If Your Child Walks Away from the Faith


Listen Later

We spend a lot of time worrying that our children will leave the faith in college. But statistics show that children are more likely to leave the faith before they leave the nest.

In this episode, Catherine covers:
1. What is to blame when your child walks away from the faith (and what NOT to blame).
2. A battleplan for going to war for your child’s faith
