The Power of A Praying Parent
from The Bridge · host Joyce Dorian
What happens when years of rebellion meet the faithful prayers of a parent?In this episode of The Bridge, I sit down with Eli Dove to hear his powerful testimony of loss, addiction, surrender, and redemption. Eli shares how the prayers of his parents continued even when he was running from God, how grief and brokenness eventually brought him to a place of humility, and how the Lord patiently transformed his life through grace, discipleship, and obedience.We discuss:• The power of a praying parent• Returning to God after years of rebellion• Grief, addiction, and healing• Humility, surrender, and obedience• Why discipleship matters• Searching for truth in all the wrong places• Finding identity in Christ• Answering God's call to missionsEli also shares about his upcoming 11-week mission trip to Alaska, where he will be serving children and communities facing isolation, addiction, and hopelessness while helping point them toward the hope found in Jesus Christ.One of my favorite moments from our conversation was when Eli said:"It took one loss to send me away from God, and another loss to humble me enough to come back."Whether you're praying for a child, a spouse, a friend, or someone who seems far from God, I pray this conversation encourages you to keep praying, keep trusting, and never lose hope.💛 If you're Jewish, Christian, both, neither, or searching — you belong here.Connect with Eli Dove:Facebook: Eliason DoveYouTube: Faith TrippinTikTok: elidove8Books by Eli Dove:• So Shine• Here Am I: 52 Weeks of Devotion to Get Your Faith in Motion• Fish Food: An Edifying Survival Guide for Followers of the Way• Dying to Live Like Jesus: Cultivating Christlike ObedienceDonate to support future missions trips to New Grace Churchhttps://newgrace.churchcenter.com/pages/giving#TheBridge #ChristianPodcast #Prayer #PrayingParent #ProdigalSon #FaithJourney #ChristianTestimony #Discipleship #Redemption #Jesus #PrayerWorks #Obedience #ChristianLiving #FaithStory #Hope
