It is often difficult to separate our responsibility from their response when our children leave the faith we love. Scripture is full of great parents with less-than-obedient kids. As parents, we are responsible for doing what we know is correct, but the yoke of our kids’ choices doesn’t rest on our shoulders. 

In this podcast, I give you some grace, freedom, and strategies for keeping your focus on God during parenting -  even when our kids are making choices apart from Him - and challenge you to give up control and let God do the work of pursuing them back to His heart.

Scripture used in this episode:
Luke 18:1-8
Hebrews 11
Psalm 119
John 6:68
Ephesians 3:20
