This powerful follow-up episode to “Breaking the Lie: From Identity Confusion to Kingdom Truth” shares the story from a parent’s perspective.

Dr. Charli sits down with Paul and Janet Sluder, parents of Steven Sluder, for a deeply personal and faith-filled conversation about the spiritual battle families face when a child walks away from Biblical truth. With honesty and grace, they open their hearts about the years of prayer, pain, endurance, and unwavering faith that carried them through their son’s journey.

This thought-provoking discussion explores the emotional and spiritual challenges parents and families experience when their beliefs are tested by a child’s life choices. The Sluders share a powerful testimony of the transforming power of God’s Word, offering hope to families walking through similar trials.

Their story is a sobering reminder that no family—even those in ministry—is exempt from today’s cultural pressures surrounding identity. Yet it is also a bold declaration that prayer, truth, and steadfast faith can overcome even the most difficult seasons.

If you are a parent standing in faith for your child, this episode will encourage, strengthen, and remind you: God is still at work.
