As a parent of adult children, do you find yourself distraught about choices they are making? Do you feel guilty and like you did something wrong when your children abandon their faith? If so, you will get much encouragement from my conversation with Mary DeMuth on the Christian Habits Podcast today (links below). Mary's new book, Love, Pray, Listen, will give welcome advice for parenting your adult children with joy.
What We Talked About on the Podcast- How Mary had to make a decision to not allow her emotions to be hijacked by the choices of her adult children
- It's necessary to grieve when our kids take a different path than we would have liked for them to
- How the influence of culture - louder than ever, today, due to social media - is subverting the teaching of parents
- What is deconstruction and is it always harmful?
- Using the characteristics of love found in 1 Corinthians 13 to guide our family interactions
- Availing yourself of the opportunity to apologize to your adult children
- The importance of making your home a safe haven
- Remembering that biblical love is the ability to tenderly care for your children when you disagree while still holding to biblical truth
