Welcome to a very special Mother’s Day episode of “One Little Candle.”
In today’s episode (107), we’re exploring the heartfelt journey of mothers whose children might be wandering from or have rejected the path to God. It’s a tender spot many moms silently agonize over, and often, a burden of responsibility and guilt that weighs heavily on their hearts.
We’ll delve into the poignant story of Hannah from the book of 1 Samuel, a woman who knew deep desire and dedication when it came to her son, Samuel. Her story sheds light on the profound act of entrusting our child(ren) entirely to God.
In this episode, we’ll also query the often misinterpreted proverb, “train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it,” unpacking the nuances about parental influence and the personal spiritual paths our children choose. We’re here to offer an understanding that while the proverb speaks to guidance, it does not guarantee outcomes.
We’ll discuss how, as parents, our role is to saturate our children’s lives with God’s word, leading by example, but ultimately, we must leave their salvation in the sovereign hands of God.
For all mothers wrestling with feelings of guilt over your child’s spiritual journey, this episode aims to comfort you, inspire hope, and encourage you to keep your light shining for them, regardless of the paths they may roam. We will be reminded of the power of persistent prayer, the impermanence of parental control, and the overarching truth that the destiny of our children rests securely in the grace of God.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
