Goodbye for Now: Trusting God as Our Children Grow and Go

Description

From first-day drop-offs to empty nests, every parent faces the bittersweet moments of letting go. This week, Jackie and Christi talk about sending kids into the next season—whether it’s kindergarten, college, marriage, or beyond—and the mix of joy, longing, and faith that comes with it. With stories of backpacks and breakfast lines, college goodbyes and grandbaby daycare tears, they reflect on what it means to prepare our children well, release them in love, and trust God to hold them when they’re out of our reach. Because the truth is, the best thing we can say isn’t “Don’t grow up”… it’s “Thanks be to God, I get to watch you grow up.”
