180 | The Spiritual Battle Plan Every Parent of a Prodigal Needs with Debra McNinch

If you have a child who has walked away from the faith or your family, or you know a parent who is quietly carrying that heartbreak alone, this episode is going to meet you in that tender place with real hope and a real plan.

I am sitting down with Debra McNinch, founder of Battle Cry Moms, and she is sharing the five step spiritual battle plan that God gave her for praying prodigal children home. It is simple, it is powerful, and it is something every parent can start doing today.

We talk about worship as a weapon even when your heart is heavy, the importance of declaring God's word and his promises over your children by name, and why community is not optional when you are in the middle of this kind of spiritual warfare. Debra also shares three practical steps to help you release the shame and resentment that can build up when you feel like you failed as a parent, and how to stand in faith even when you cannot see the evidence yet.

There is also a moment in this conversation about perspective that absolutely stopped me in my tracks. It is the kind of biblical encouragement that reminds us why Jesus calls us to see people the way he sees them, and what it means to be the answer to a mama's prayer for her child.

If your faith has been wavering and the Holy Spirit has been the only thing holding you together in this season, this episode is going to strengthen you and give you something concrete to stand on.

Your child is coming home. Start planning the party.
