Laine Lawson Craft's Freedom Story: A Journey of Faith and Warfare Parenting!

In this episode, I’m joined by Laine Lawson Craft, the author of Warfare Parenting, a powerful book dedicated to equipping parents and loved ones who are fighting for a prodigal or struggling child. Laine shares her personal journey, her heart for parents, and the incredible revelation she had that prayer is the most powerful weapon in the battle for our children. Through her experience of walking through the challenges of marriage and parenting, she discusses how to actively engage in the spiritual warfare that often accompanies the journey of raising children, especially when they’re lost or hurting.

Takeaways:

1. Understanding the Battle:

One of the most impactful moments in Laine’s journey was recognizing that her battle was not against her children, but against the enemy. She encourages parents to focus on spiritual warfare and prayer rather than becoming frustrated with their children’s actions. She emphasizes that God’s love for our children is greater than we can imagine, and He is always in the battle with us.

2. The Power of Prayer and the Blood of Jesus:

Laine shares the power of praying over her children and invoking the blood of Jesus for their protection. By visualizing the blood of Christ covering her children, she trusted God’s protection over them, especially during their most challenging years.

3. The Miracle of Presence, Not Perfection:

Sometimes, the miracle we pray for isn’t the one we envision. Laine shares her story of a lost child and the pain of seeing them struggle, but she reminds us that even in the darkest seasons, God is present and working in ways we can’t always see. Whether or not our prodigal children come home in the way we wish, the miracle is that we continue to stand firm in our faith.

Closing Thoughts:

Laine’s message is one of hope for all parents, especially those navigating the heartache of a prodigal child. Her journey of surrendering control to God, relying on prayer, and trusting in God’s bigger plan is powerful. No matter how far off course our children may seem, God is always at work in their lives, and He has not given up on them. For parents fighting the battle of raising a prodigal, remember—you are not alone, and the power of prayer is the key to victory.
