Letting go of our children isn’t a one-time event; it’s a lifelong process that begins the moment the umbilical cord is cut.
Catherine Segars, host of the Christian Parent, Crazy World podcast, joins us this week to discuss the delicate and often difficult transition of releasing our children into the world, biblically and prayerfully.
In our conversation, Catherine breaks down the four distinct phases of parenting—Caregiver, Cop, Coach, and Counselor—and warns of the friction that occurs when we try to parent our children from the wrong phase. Jaime unpacks a powerful insight from John 17, illustrating how Jesus modeled healthy detachment by praying for His disciples’ protection from the evil one rather than their removal from the world.
You won’t want to miss this empowering episode highlighting the spiritual authority parents hold over what they have "authored," and powerful encouragement that it is never too late to impact your child’s life through prayer—even if they are currently in a prodigal season.
