Wayward Children

Can you feel joy while your heart aches for a child who’s walked away from the faith? For parents living that tension, it can feel impossible to reconcile.

Janet Aucoin talks with returning guest Stuart Scott about his devotional on wayward children, unpacking Isaiah 1 and Romans 9 to show that God knows the ache of rebellious children. They discuss confession, community, and resting in God’s sovereignty rather than in a formula for parenting success. Their discussion uses scripture to point hurting parents back to Christ.
