Jasmine knows the devastation of loss all too well. Her premature son died after four months in the hospital,

and then she experienced a miscarriage. It was hard to worship. It was hard to pray, but by listening to this

podcast, focus on the family, it helped me, you know, think that I'm not the only one who's going

through this. Jasmine says we were a voice of calm and truth in her chaos. Today, she wants to

equip other hurting families before it's too late. By listening to this podcast or a focus on family,

it will help you tremendously with your faith and how to grow

and move forward. I'm Jim Daly. We need your help to deliver hope and joy to more families

like Jasmine. But time is running out to see your gift doubled through our matching opportunity.

800 the letter A and the word family. As you're learning to give your teenager some freedom,

it can be a little bit nerve-wracking, but the goal is to one day release them fully and then hang on because there's

an opportunity to be great friends with your son or daughter for the rest of your life.

I'm John Fuller along with our vice president of parenting, Dr. Danny Warrita.

Danny, I remember it was easy to let some children go. They just made it so very easy because of all the

drama they brought and all the conflict we had in terms of giving them freedom. It was just,

give me more, give me more. And finally they would move out and we'd feel like, yeah, that's about

enough. That's good. So it is hard to let some children go because they're delightful.

And at the end of the day, it's good for all kids to leave the home and to pursue their own lives.

Was it hard for you?

Was it hard for Heather with Alex and Lexi?

Or was it easier?

Yeah, I mean, there's some different parts of letting go.
