What do you do when your child walks away from everything you've raised them to believe? For Suzanne and Alan Happs, that question became deeply personal when their son told them, "I'm not exactly sure I believe any of that anymore."

In this episode, Suzanne and Alan share: <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1"> What it felt like to watch their son deconstruct his faith </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1"> The mistakes they made, and what they wish they had done differently </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="3" data-aria-level="1"> How they learned to love without controlling or pushing </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="4" data-aria-level="1"> What sustained their faith through years of heartbreak and uncertainty </li> </ul> <ul class="BulletListStyle1 SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="list"> <li class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW179606101 BCX0" role="listitem" aria-setsize="-1" data-leveltext="" data-font="Symbol" data-listid="2" data-list-defn-props= "{"335552541":1,"335559683":0,"335559684":-2,"335559685":720,"335559991":360,"469769226":"Symbol","469769242":[8226],"469777803":"left","469777804":"","469777815":"hybridMultilevel"}" data-aria-posinset="5" data-aria-level="1"> The moment everything began to change, and the powerful way God brought their son back </li> </ul> If you are praying for a prodigal child, a loved one who has walked away from faith, or someone who feels far from God, this story will meet you right where you are.
