b"Every parent looks into the eyes of their young child with hopeful anticipation for their future. What do you do when the dreams you had seem to shatter and you find your relationship with your child not what you had imagined? How do you continue to love well when their choices are taking them down a road of relational disconnection, personal pain or destruction?\\nThrough her own parenting journey and by watching others, Mary DeMuth has learned how to surrender her ideas of what should be and lean into what is when it comes to her children. In fact, her most recent book, Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy, is a guide to help any parent navigating the murky waters of parenting adult children who have chosen a path contrary to what was hoped for.\\nAs a sexual abuse survivor, Mary had to learn how to parent well while healing from her own story. She also had to learn to trust God in the messiness of her own children's stories and not to parent out of fear, but instead rely on God's love for her kids to be enough. By looking at Scripture and the first example of wayward children in the Garden of Eden, Mary has found comfort and solace in knowing that God not only sees her pain, but also understands the journey she is on.\\nIn this raw conversation, Mary and Davey talk about how our healing can often come through our giftings, why formulas don't work in parenting and the power of surrendering our kids and their journeys to the loving care of the Lord.\\nNo matter where you are in parenting, this episode will help you remember that ultimately God is in control of your children's lives and that no matter what, He cares for them and for you.\\nWebsite: www.marydemuth.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/marydemuth Facebook: www.facebook.com/AuthorMaryDeMuth Podcast: Pray Every Day www.marydemuth.com/pray-every-day-podcast/ Book: Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy LoveFree Prayer Resource from Mary DeMuth: https://marydemuth.ck.page/51d95e9769\\nSign up for the FREE 5 Steps to Taking Back Your Story Webinar: www.nothingiswasted.com/starthere\\nAre you ready to move towards healing from your past wounds?
