Episode 554: What Do I Do When Those Closest to Me Walk Away From God?

Jan 14, 2025

Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to, "Train up a child in the way he should go..."
and goes on to say that, "even when he is old he will not depart from it."

What about when those closest to us walk away from God? Was it our responsibility to prevent it? 

How does this apply, when all around us we see the kids of pastors, missionaries, and Christians in general, departing from the faith they were raised in? Is there a Biblical formula that we all seem to be missing?

The four regulars share their experience of raising kids, and the delicate balance one might aim to strike of not forcing religious views upon them, but also not letting them simply roam free without spiritual direction.
