When it comes to making our adult children listen to us and helping them step into who God created them to be, we have to recognize we are fighting a spiritual war for our child. However, we are not at war with our child, we are at war with the darkness that is in the world today. That is why I am so excited to talk to best-selling author Jim Burns on this episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Jim shares that over 65% of children who graduate highschool walk away from their faith, and talks about what parents need to do in that period of their child's life to help them find their way back to God.

In last week's episode, I had my eldest son, Steven, on to discuss his story of his deliverance from darkness. This week, I am delighted to have Steven back with his wonderful wife, Madison, to share how she met Steven at the lowest point in their lives, and how they both experienced rebirth through Christ. Madison explains how after a few years in spiritual warfare with the struggles of addiction, both she and Steven had the veil begin to lift from their eyes, and they saw God begin to work miracles in both of their hearts. She then talks about marrying Steven and the conscious change they both have made as a couple moving forward into the future.

I often like to say the enemy looks for cracks in our lives, small weaknesses or temptations that he can slip into to open us up to sin and temptation. It can become a full on spiritual war for your life, and often times, you don't know how you will find deliverance from the darkness. That is why I am so blessed to have my son, Steven H. Craft, Jr., as today's guest. Steven shares the story of his battle in darkness with exposure to pornography. Over many years, he struggled with these spirits of lust and feelings of inadequacy. He began to turn to alcohol and drugs as a source of "happiness", only to find the feelings of anxiety grow. However, as he explains in this episode, his story does not end in the darkness, but speaks to rebirth and deliverance through the power of Jesus. This is a featured story from Laine’s new book, The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal, releasing March 14, 2023.

What does it mean to live well and fully? To see rebirth in your child's struggle with addiction and to feel that recovery for yourself as a parent? That's exactly what our guest, Barbara Decker, shares with us on today's episode. Barbara shares her own story about her son Eric's battle with addiction. Desperate for help, she pleaded with a behavioral therapist to assist her son. What he told her completely changed how she approached her son’s addiction: “There’s nothing you can do that will help your son. Only he can choose recovery.” After this realization, Barbara began looking inward and working to improve herself. While this seemed counterproductive at first, she discovered that these changes in her own life created a positive change in Eric's as well. Barbara is now proud to say that Eric has now been sober for almost five years with no relapses. Now Barbara wants to break down her process and explain why a prodigal child doesn't have to affect a parent's life in a negative way, but rather can be an opportunity for self growth that leaves lasting results for them and their family. Who is Barbara Decker? Barbara Decker is a Certified Family Recovery Specialist and founder of Live Well and Fully. Her Love Another Way Program has helped parents support their children through addiction-based challenges. Barbara’s Transformative Boundaries helps the mother-child relationship thrive, and parents learn the best ways to interact with, support, and encourage their adult children to overcome their addiction-based challenges. Her efforts have helped families restore peace in their homes and in their minds. The heartwarming testimonials the program receives are part of the reason why she wants to share her program far and wide. Things We Talk About in this Episode: Why is it important for parents to also focus on themselves when they want to help a child struggling with addiction? What does Live Well and Fully offer for parents of children walking through addiction? Why are healthy boundaries important for parents?

**A gentle warning, this episode discusses sexual assault and rape. If you are feeling vulnerable in this area, please consult with a doctor or mental health professional in your area. Or call the National Sexual Assault Hotline listed in the resources.** The statistics for sexual abuse and rape are absolutely sombering. An American is sexually assaulted every 93 seconds. And every 9 minutes, an American child is sexual abused. These numbers are truly horrifying and it leaves us with questions like "What can I do to help someone who has experienced sexual assault?" or "What do I need to know about sexual assaults to not allow my family members or friends to potentially become victims?" This is why I am so blessed to welcome Licensed Counselor Susan Milligan to the Warfare Parenting Podcast. Susan Milligan discusses what sexual assault is, what age are individuals abused the most often, and how many different forms sexual assault can take on so we can be prepared as parents to protect our children. Susan then explains who these abusers are and how it is often someone who is close to the victim: a teacher, ex-spouse, or a religious figure. She breaks down how "grooming" is often a big part of manipulating victims into these situations and how the grooming leads to assault and rape. However, Susan wants parents to know that we can't lose hope from these statistics, because there are so many resources available to both victims and their families to help them on the road to recovery. Who is Susan Milligan? Susan Milligan is a Counselor located in Little Rock, AR. Susan specializes in helping clients who have experienced trauma in their past. This trauma could have been a one-time event like an accident or a chronic series of events like abuse. Her clients seek therapy to deal with the negative impacts of these events on their lives, which can include frequent panic attacks, debilitative emotions, inability to form healthy relationships with others, and heavy feelings of shame or guilt.  Things We Talk About In This Episode: What is sexual assault really? What are the different forms that sexual assault can take on? Why is grooming such a big part of the abuse process, especially with victims that are under the age of 18? What is a trauma bond and why can it be so difficult for victims to break that bond? What are the long-term effects on a victim's mental health after they are sexually abused and how can we begin treating them? What should we do as parents to help keep our children safe from sexual abuse?
