This week we are going back to 2021 to get our podcast episode. This is one from the first year that we started our podcast. We discuss our dreams for our adult children and what happens when they don't come true or they are not the dreams that our Children want for themselves.

In this short episode, we share how to recognize and pray through spiritual battles. This is just scratching the surface, there is so much more that you can dig into, we hope it helps and motivates you in the battle.

What a roller coaster it is to parent adult children. Our proud moments take us so high and the shame we as parents feels when our child’s bad choices cause pain, take us so low.

I think Asha’s husband said it best, Proverbs chapter 31 isn’t an exact job description for all women. However, when we read it as a letter from a mom’s heart, we see that the goal was to outline what a woman looks like who sacrifices for her family, makes her children and husband proud, and is generous of heart. We’re so excited that our husbands joined us this time. Enjoy this final episode for...

Whether your adult children are young and still carving out their career or they’re established in a management role they can still be a leader that others count on. They can still approach the world with integrity and bring peace to a situation.

Proverbs 23 & 24 really gives us insight into how God desires us to show self control. Whether that’s in seeking the approval of wealthy people, desire for sex outside of marriage, or addiction to alcohol. In the end the answer still stands- we need God’s wisdom and so do our Adult children. It may be that if advice is not taken then we will all face discipline, but these tests are for our own goo...

God’s wisdom is so relevant for today.

Join Asha and Missey as they speak about ways to encourage your adult children in the Lord.
