89. Holding to Christ While Letting Them Go: Parenting Teens & Young Adults

My daughter's mission president recently told her that many (*not a few*) missionaries are entering the mission field unprepared for missionary life. I have been reflecting upon how we, as parents, can better prepare our kids for missions, college, and beyond.

In this episode, we discuss the teen years as "the long letting go," and what that entails from a parenting perspective, leading up to the young adult years, where the game completely shifts to "bite your tongue" and nurture your relationship with your young adult child.

Letting go is not easy, but we can trust Christ with our children as they grow, leave home, make mistakes, and learn to become disciples. Let's talk about it!
