Carpool Conversations

Learning from Empty Nesters


Listen Later

Today, Amy Lowe and Emily Alters sit down with two incredible parents who have launched their kids into adulthood and are now navigating the empty nest season—Jeff Stryker and Lynn Alters. Between them, Jeff and Lynn bring decades of parenting wisdom to the table. Both of their families have deep roots at WinShape Camps, with kids who spent summers growing up at camp and are now faithfully following Jesus in their own unique callings. These two empty nesters reflect on their parenting journeys—sharing both meaningful wins and honest missteps—and offer practical advice and encouragement for moms and dads still in the thick of it. Whether you're raising little ones or teenagers, their insight brings encouragement and perspective for the road ahead.

Parenting truth we’re holding onto today: You won’t do everything perfectly—but being intentional, present, and Christ-centered matters more than you think.

Plus: Don’t miss what Jeff and Lynn are still learning—even after raising kids into adulthood.
