| 0:00.0 | Hi, and welcome to the Five Word Prayers Daily, a five-day-a-week daily devotional where we share the |
| 0:05.2 | word, prayers, in our heart. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, |
| 0:09.7 | which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent. Hi there, and welcome to the Friday five, |
| 0:14.9 | five random things to help put tools in our hands, give us some steps we can use in our daily life, and sometimes just fun lists in |
| 0:21.2 | general to break it up from what we do here all week. It also happens to be our last show in the |
| 0:26.3 | month-long shows about parenting, and I hope it's been helpful to you. So today, as we wrap up |
| 0:31.2 | this week about letting go, I want to give us five quick helps in letting go of our kids as we |

| 0:39.6 | had some great things to share with us yesterday. And today, I'm taking some nuggets from |

| 1:18.3 | by them, to be honest. If they go to a secular college, their professors will absolutely not all |
| 1:24.5 | be believers. In fact, many of them won't be, and they'll likely teach them some |
| 1:28.2 | things that goes against the faith that has been taught in our home. So we need to have open |
| 1:33.4 | dialogue with our kids before they go about what they believe and not be shocked by it and talk |
| 1:39.1 | through it all. They need to know about their worldview. They need to know about what they feel |
| 1:43.9 | about social issues. And we need to help guide them in that. They need to know about their worldview. They need to know about what they feel about |
