What To Do When Your Adult Child Walks Away From God | Mary DeMuth
One of the most common struggles Christian parents face today is navigating relationships with adult children who are distant, making painful choices, or walking away from their faith.
In this powerful conversation, author Mary DeMuth discusses how parents can respond with love, wisdom, and faith—even when their hearts are breaking. Mary shares deeply personal stories, biblical insight, and practical guidance from her book Love, Pray, Listen, helping parents release control, grieve unmet expectations, and trust God’s work in their children’s lives. This episode addresses deconstruction, boundaries, finances, estrangement, sexuality, prayer fatigue, and the importance of unconditional love rooted in Christ.
