Welcoming the Prodigal Home: A Conversation with Marian Edwards on Parenting Through Rebellion

Parenting a prodigal child is one of the deepest heartaches a mother or father can face. How do you hold onto faith when your child walks away? How do you love them without enabling destructive choices? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Irish evangelist and minister Marian Edwards, who has dedicated years to working with youth through Youth For Christ and other ministries. With decades of experience guiding young people back to Christ, Marian shares her wisdom, personal journey, and biblical encouragement for parents navigating the painful but redemptive road of loving a wayward child. Whether you’re in the midst of this battle or walking alongside someone who is, this conversation will remind you that God’s grace is never out of reach.
