Faith In Parents #98 | Lost and Found

Would you still love me if…?
How easy is it to come clean about our mistakes? 
Do your kids find it hard to apologise?  What about you?

Perhaps you’re more of an older brother in the story of the lost son, depending on your own performance as if God’s love has to be earned.  Or a younger brother who fears they’ve gone too far as if God’s love can be lost.

Join in a helpfully practical conversation that tackles both of these identity struggles with Ed Drew, Graham Beynon, and Karen Sleeman.

Ed Drew - the Director of Faith in Kids grounds the conversation in how we would parent / care for younger primary, upper primary / secondary school children and their families facing these struggles.

Karen Sleeman - is the pastoral associate for families in her local church and enjoys working with parents, children and adolescents. She has completed the BCUK intern Scheme and has training in child and adolescent mental health and is working towards accreditation as a family therapist.

Dr Graham Beynon - is the pastor of Grace Church, Cambridge, and Director of Independent Ministry Training at Oak Hill. He is the author of a number of books including Mirror Mirror, Emotions: Living Life in Colour (2012, IVP), God’s New Community: New Testament Patterns for Today’s Church (2005, IVP), Planting for the Gospel: a hands on guide to church planting (2011, Christian Focus) and Isaac Watts: His Life and Thought (2013, Christian Focus). He is married to Charis and they have three children. In his spare time he enjoys watching TV with his wife, walking with their dog, trying his hand at DIY, watching sport and playing 5-a-side football.
