Today I‘m sitting down with Craig Wroblewski, president of Lifestones Ministries, to talk about two difficult issues so many families are facing: struggling marriages and the heartbreak of prodigal or estranged children. As we dig into Psalm 127, we explore the spiritual battle surrounding our homes, the value of discipleship, how to restore communication and connection in marriage, and what it means to persevere in prayer when our children walk away from us—or from the Lord. Craig shares practical wisdom on building a Christ-centered family, even in the midst of pain, and offers hope for parents who feel like giving up. Whether you’re fighting for your marriage, grieving over a child, or simply weary from the battle, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t finished. He is still building, restoring, and writing your family’s story.
