When I’m asked about what kind of episodes we have on this podcast, my general answer is we have grace-filled conversations about physical, mental and spiritual health, with a smattering of parenting and other episodes.

As I’m getting to know my community through our free Graced Health Community Facebook group, Instagram, and most importantly the survey, I’m realizing many of us are in empty nesting stages. My two sons are in college and a junior in high school, so I’m turning that corner very quickly.

Mary DeMuth has written a book that is beautiful and grace-giving but also growth oriented resource for fostering your relationship with your adult child. I invited her on to discuss her book Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy. Regardless of if your children are wayward or not, this book is full of applicable wisdom in expressing love to and fostering good relationships with your adult child.

Mary DeMuth is an international speaker, podcaster, and author of over forty books, fiction and nonfiction, including her latest book, Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting Your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy. Through God’s healing, Mary has overcome a difficult past to become an authentic example of what it means to live a brand-new story. She loves to help others “re-story” their lives through the books she writes. Mary lives in Texas with her husband of 30 years and is Mom to three adult children. Learn more at marydemuth.com.

We discuss

• Her passion for helping other parents find joy in parenting adult kids
• Embracing our own brokenness and relating to our adult children as fellow strugglers
• Parenting comparison
• How to trust others to share our pain but still maintain boundaries of privacy
• Finding comfort when our children have walked away from their faith
• Dealing with “helpful” advice from others when parenting our unique children
