About this episode

Stasi and John Eldredge discuss the complexities of loving adult children and the importance of trust and forgiveness in parenting.

What does mature love look like as our children grow up, grow away, and build lives of their own? In this honest and tender conversation, John and Stasi Eldredge explore the grief, freedom, forgiveness, and trust woven into parenting adult children. Together they invite us to release control, entrust our hearts to Jesus, and discover the love that keeps the doors open. Wherever this conversation finds us, may we find fresh grace to love with open hands and trust everything, and everyone, to Jesus. …..
