Love, Lead, and Let Go | Episode 16
Manage episode 486642057 series 3626112
Parenting is a journey of loving, leading, and ultimately letting go. In this episode, I share some personal reflections as my kids enter major life transitions—one getting married, another moving overseas, and one starting a business. We dive into what the Bible says about raising children, the reality that they are only on loan to us, and the challenge of releasing them into their God-given purpose. I also wrestle with three big questions: Have I set them up for success? Am I holding them back? Do they truly know they’re loved? If you're a parent at any stage, this episode will challenge and encourage you to embrace your role while preparing for the inevitable moment when your kids will go. Because our greatest success won’t be found in our work—it’ll be found in the legacy we leave at home.
