Ed talks to Steve Midgley (Senior Minister of Christ Church Cambridge) about teenage years when our children's independence is expressed, their preferred lifestyle is being explored and their personal values are now being owned. This is all normal and healthy but it can lead to stepping away from their parents' Christian faith.
What should our response be? How can we continue to have fruitful conversations? How do we cope with our sense of disappointment? Listen to Beth and Steve's encouragement and wisdom.
Steve is also Executive Director of Biblical Counselling UK. He and his wife have three adult children.
