#152 Letting Go Of Control: Hope for Prodigal Loved Ones
Description
What do you do when someone you love walks away from the faith and you feel like it’s your responsibility to bring them back?
Do you feel the pressure to say the right thing or do just enough to bring them back?
In this encouraging episode, I’m joined by Kristine Bruce, founder of Praying for Our Prodigals, to talk about one of the hardest crosses many faithful women carry: loving someone who has left the Church.
Kristine shares her personal journey of walking through this pain with her own children and how God transformed her fear, striving, and self-blame into peace, trust, and surrender.
Together, we unpack what it really looks like to support your loved ones without turning their faith into your responsibility and how to partner with God instead of trying to replace Him.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why your loved one’s faith is not your responsibility to fix
- The four pillars that bring peace and direction
- What to do when prayers feel unanswered… even after years
- Why nagging often pushes people further away (and what to do instead)
