On today’s episode, we are wrapping up our mini-series entitled “off to college we go”…from the perspective of those who have already walked this road. I am sitting down with two mothers, Kelly Cheshier and Kathy Little, who are very transparently sharing about what life looked like when they dropped their children off for college and how the Lord met them in those “darker nights of the soul.” They are also testifying to the beauty they beheld as they saw the Lord work in the life of their college student, as well as in the lives of their remaining children at home. In other words, we are discussing the faithfulness of God and how He nurtures our faith in every season of life.

On today’s episode, we are talking about some common perceptions of the teen years but what this season can be looking through the lens of the gospel.  How we can walk alongside and shepherd our children’s hearts in these years?  How can we help them navigate this transition into adulthood?  If more is “caught than taught,” how can we strive to live out an “authentic faith”, an overflow of who Jesus is to us, in front of them?  What about those of us who feel we are too far into these years and have lost too much ground…is there any hope?
