In this hope-filled conversation, Audra sits down with Cheryl Cardall to talk honestly about loving our children when fear, disappointment, and uncertainty creep in.  Through the New Testament story of the Prodigal Son, they explore how Jesus Christ teaches us to parent with patience, grace, and deep trust in God’s plan.  This episode is for parents who: Love their children deeply but feel overwhelmed or afraidAre learning to let go of the “perfect family” idealWant to trust Jesus Christ more fully with their child’s journeyNeed reassurance that waiting, loving, and hoping still matterTogether, Audra and Cheryl discuss how the Atonement of Jesus Christ can quiet fear, how to love without coercion or shame, and why our role as parents is to serve not to save.  You’ll hear gentle encouragement for parents of struggling, wandering, neurodivergent, or mentally vulnerable children, and a reminder that God’s plan is bigger, longer, and more merciful than we often realize.
