It's a verse every Christian parenting study points to... but is it a promise? We desperately want to believe we have that level of control, but how do we reconcile it with our experience that many godly families have prodigal children? This episode draws a clear distinction between our role and God's role, what surrender looks like, what faithfulness looks like, and how we know when we're being controlled by our hopes for our kids to follow Christ. Krista and Bryan discuss how to parent in this season, how it affects our marriages, and how we walk with others experiencing this trial.
