Send Erica a textYou've thought about sending the text a hundred times. You've typed it, deleted it, typed it again. You're terrified of silence. But you're also terrified of saying the wrong thing and losing whatever thread of connection might still be there.So you do nothing. And the distance just keeps growing.Erica walks through three practical steps for standing in faith when your child has pulled away. She tackles the theology that either paralyzes moms or propels them forward, explains why your view of God in this season matters more than any parenting strategy, and challenges you to take one brave risk today: send the message you've been holding back.You'll learn what to actually say when you reach out (and why keeping it short matters more than getting it perfect), how to prepare yourself emotionally whether they respond or not, and three specific things to say to a friend walking through this that actually help instead of making it worse.This isn't about forcing a response. It's about planting a seed, trusting God's timing, and refusing to let fear write the final chapter of your relationship.Grab your free EBook on Prayers to Pray for your Hardest Motherhood Moments + From Despair to Repair: Your Personal Podcast Companion Journalhttps://a.ericawiggenhorn.com/51mvosoPre-order Loving Your Wayward Child: https://amzn.to/3P71fQ2Momentum Conference: https://a.ericawiggenhorn.com/vtsyykt
