Trusting God Through Life Transitions, Empty Nest, Faith, Motherhood & Discernment

In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with Lorraine for a beautiful and honest conversation about faith, motherhood, surrender, and learning to trust God through changing seasons of life. We talk about what it looks like to let go of control, walk through transition without knowing the full path ahead, and stay grounded in prayer when life feels uncertain. We dive into the challenges of parenting adult children, learning how to release them to the Lord, and finding purpose in seasons that feel quieter than before. We also talk about discernment, gratitude, silence, journaling, and how God often speaks in subtle ways when we slow down enough to listen. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure of what God is doing in your current season, I pray this conversation reminds you that you do not have to see the whole road ahead, just the next faithful step. In this episode, we talk about: • Navigating the empty nest transition with faith • Trusting God with your adult children • Letting go of control and unrealistic expectations • Learning to hear God’s voice in quiet moments • The importance of discernment before saying yes • Gratitude journaling and daily prayer rhythms • Parenting through every phase of life • Finding peace when life feels uncertain • Why small acts of obedience matter • Being gentle with yourself in difficult seasons If your soul is craving rest, renewal, and space to reconnect with God, I’d love to personally invite you to the Wholeness in the Wilderness Retreat happening June 25 through 28 near the California Redwoods and Oregon Coast. You can find all the details at PerspectivesIntoPractice.com under the RETREAT tab. And if God has been writing a story in your life and you’d like to share it, I’d love to invite you to be a guest on the podcast. Your story matters, and someone else may need the perspective God has given you.
