Have you ever replayed a conversation with your child and wondered, What did I do wrong? Maybe you’re grieving choices you never imagined, a relationship that feels strained, or an empty chair at your family’s table. You love your child deeply, but you’re unsure how to stay connected while remaining faithful to what you believe.

This week on The Love Offering Podcast, my friend Erica Wiggenhorn joins me for a tender, honest conversation about her book, Loving Your Wayward Child. Drawing from her own unfinished family story, Erica offers encouragement for parents navigating heartbreak, guilt, and the helplessness of wanting to fix something they cannot control.

We talk about:

• Releasing shame and the question, “Is this my fault?”
• Responding from faith rather than fear.
• Loving your child while holding onto your convictions.
• Pursuing connection without demanding a response.
• Finding safe community when you’re tempted to isolate.
• Trusting God’s presence and love when you cannot see what He is doing.

Whatever your relationship with your child looks like today, you can bring your heartache to Him. You don’t need every answer to take the next faithful step. I hope this conversation helps you feel less alone and reminds you that you can entrust both your child and your own heart to the Lord.
