What do you do when the child you raised in the Christian faith walks away from it? In this powerful and hope-filled episode, Laine Lawson Craft—a Christian wife, mom, media host, speaker, and best-selling author—shares her raw journey of parenting three prodigal children. Through years of fear, rebellion, and spiritual battles, Laine learned to fight not against her children, but for them—through prayer, truth, and unwavering trust in God. Together with counselor Paige Clingenpeel, they unpack the difference between teen rebellion and spiritual warfare, the power of setting boundaries, and how no child is ever too far gone for God’s redemption. This is for every parent who’s still praying, still hoping, and still fighting for their prodigal.
Paige’s Takeaways
- Parents may take it personal when our kids make choices that go against how we’ve raised them
- But you are not a failure! They make their own choices and it is not a reflection of you.
- God is in control and prayer works!
- We are not fighting against our teen or young adult, we are fighting against the enemy.
- When we have a conflict, we need to reorient our role.
- Don’t look at our child as the problem, partner together to find solutions in a healthy way.
- We are fighting for our kids’ souls and prayer is our weapon.
- As Laine said—no prodigal is too far gone.
