Loving Beyond Control

Join Jennifer and Mary DeMuth author of Love, Pray Listen, as they talk about how our internal order has more to do with our children's order than our ability to manage well or enforce outward order. This grows with a willingness to pursue our identity in Christ and let him be our all in all, so that when the day comes, and our children leave the nest and begin making their own decisions, we aren't caught in the trap of believing we can control or "order" their lives. Instead, we can Love, Pray and Listen.
