Wayward Children

Can you feel joy while your heart aches for a child who’s walked away from the faith? For parents living that tension, it can feel impossible to reconcile.Janet Aucoin talks with returning guest Stuart Scott about his devotional on wayward children, unpacking Isaiah 1 and Romans 9 to show that God knows the ache of rebellious children. They discuss confession, community, and resting in God’s sovereignty rather than in a formula for parenting success. Their discussion uses scripture to point hurting parents back to Christ.⁠⁠⁠⁠Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources:Podcasts/LecturesHumility - Joyful JourneyBrad Bigney LecturesBooksWayward Children - Stuart ScottFrom Heartbroken to Hopeful - Shirely ElliottCome Back, Barbara - John Miller and Barbara Miller JulianiWhen Good Kids Make Bad Choices - Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jim NewheiserIt’s Not Too Late - Margy TrippDo Not Hinder Them - Justin PetersWebsiteRestorationVisit the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to sign up for our newsletter, view a transcript, and search previous episodes.Emails us with questions or comments [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate to Joyful Journey Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joyful Journey Podcast is a ministry of Faith Bible Seminary.
