We all want to improve our relationship with our child. What if I told you that there is a question you could ask your son or daughter that has the power to transform your relationship for the better? Seriously, it can change everything…

That is what I discuss in the episode 26 of CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD, which, btw, just won the 2022 Spark Media Award for Best Kids and Family Podcast. Woo-hoo! Yes, CPCW took home the gold, or rather the glass at the Spark Media Conference in Nashville this month. 

Thanks for listening, you guys. Thanks for being the best part of this show. Seriously. You guy’s are awesome. We just turned a year old and with close to 30k downloads, I’m so honored and humbled to have this opportunity to speak into so many lives. 

Now, back to to the topic at hand. …. In episode 26 of CPCW, I discuss what every parent needs to know about the prodigal child, and in the process, I outline the four stages of parenting and the proper role we play in each of those stages. Then I share what is the best question you could ever ask your child. You don’t want to miss it!

Whether you have a prodigal child or not, you know someone who does. The fact is, some kids are hardwired to do things the hard way. They are made to push the boundaries. By examining God’s response to the wandering child in Scripture, we can gain clarity, insight, direction, and hope as parents in our pursuit of godliness ourselves.
