At some point, every parent will have to work through a crisis with their kids. Whether their child deals with a substance addiction or battles an eating disorder or questions their sexuality or walks away from the faith, parents need encouragement and strategy to work through these difficult seasons.

Joining Catherine again to discuss parenting through the hard times is best-selling author Laine Lawson Craft. Laine’s brand new book, The Parent’s Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal, covers a plethora of parenting potholes. Together, Catherine and Laine cover this vital parenting ground:

Maintaining self-care in a crisis
Evicting enablement
Establishing healthy boundaries
Changing the rules
Responding to manipulation
Dealing with the judgment of others
Establishing community
Finding a Christian counselor
Guarding our minds from discouragement
Praying the Word over our children

And at the end of this episode, these ladies offer a powerful, Spirit-filled prayer to wage war in the heavenlies for this next generation.
