Episode Details

“What do you do when the child you raised chooses a completely different path?”

Join Jim Burns as he discusses his new book, When Your Adult Child Strays. When adult children walk away from the values, faith, and commitments they were raised with, parents can be left feeling confused, heartbroken, and unsure of what to do next. In this episode, Jim offers compassionate guidance for parents navigating differences around faith, church, politics, sexuality, addiction, and more—helping them respond with wisdom, healthy boundaries, and lasting hope.

Listen now and discover how to love your adult child well without losing hope, compromising truth, or giving up on the relationship.
