• Mary DeMuth: Parenting your wayward adult kids with joy
    Mar 24 2023

    There comes a time when every child steps into adulthood and begins making their own choices. So, how can today’s parents continue to guide their adult children, even if they disagree with their kids’ decisions?

    Beloved author and international speaker Mary DeMuth answers this question in her new book, Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy.

    Parents of wayward children may feel guilty or crushed by their kids’ choices. They may spiral, asking themselves what they did wrong and longing for their children’s unquestioning faith.

    Today on Connections, DeMuth helps parents navigate this heartache, develop new rhythms to reconnect with their adult kids, and place their trust in the Lord for their wayward children’s futures.
