How do you keep trusting God when your children make choices you can’t control? In this special podcast episode of See, Hear, Love, Melinda welcomes longtime friend, author, and mother of five Sandy MacGregor for an honest conversation about Christian parenting, prayer, and giving our families room to grow.
Looking back on their own teenage years, Melinda and Sandy share why remembering who we once were can help us respond to our children with greater compassion. They discuss praying for trusted people to enter our children’s lives, offering forgiveness, and learning to be a loving, present parent without having all the answers.
Sandy also reflects on 30 years of marriage, the small habits that keep a couple connected, and why support from other moms and a church community mattered while raising five children.
In this conversation:
Parenting teenagers and adult children with grace
Trusting God with the choices your children make
Asking your children to give you grace, too
Making time for your marriage through everyday habits
Building friendships and asking for support
Sharing faith and hope through children’s books
If you’re carrying concerns about your children, this conversation offers encouragement to keep praying, stay connected, and extend the grace you’ve received.
