Family & Parenting

My teenager is pulling away from faith. How do I keep them connected without pushing them away?

My adult child has walked away from Christianity entirely. I feel like I failed as a parent.

I grew up in a dysfunctional family and I'm terrified of repeating those patterns with my own kids.

My siblings and I are in conflict over a family decision. How do I navigate this without destroying the relationships?

I'm a single parent, completely exhausted and stretched thin. How do I keep going?

My child has special needs and some days I feel like I cannot keep going. Where is God in this?

I lose my temper when I discipline my kids and then I hate myself afterward. How am I supposed to be doing this?

My toddler pushes back on absolutely everything and I am out of patience by nine in the morning. Is there a better way to handle this?

We have been trying for a baby for years and it is not happening. Where is God in this?

I want a child and my spouse does not. We keep circling this conversation and getting nowhere. What now?

We are thinking seriously about adopting and I cannot tell if this is a calling or just a feeling. How do we know?

I am a stepparent and my partner's kids keep me at arm's length. How long am I supposed to keep trying?

My ex and I are supposed to be co-parenting and every handover turns into a fight. How do I protect my kids from this?

I am told to honor my parents, but they hurt me badly. What is God actually asking of me here?

My parent keeps asking me for things I do not want to give. Does honoring them mean always saying yes?

I stepped back from my family for good reasons and the guilt has not gone away. How do I make peace with this?

People keep telling me Christians forgive without limit, but I need boundaries with my family. How do those two fit together?

I am a grown adult and my parents still try to run my life. Every decision I make gets second-guessed. What do I do?

My in-laws openly disagree with how we are raising our kids. How do I keep the peace without giving in?

My in-laws are becoming a wedge between me and my spouse. How do we handle this as a couple?

My sibling and I have competed since childhood and I still measure myself against them. How do I let that go?

I always felt like the less-favored child and it still stings decades later. Does the Bible say anything about that?

Every family gathering ends in tension and I am already dreading the next one. How do I handle this in a way that honors God?

I want my kids to actually know God and I have no idea whether I am doing any of this right. Where do I start?

Between the kids and everything else, my own faith has gone completely quiet. How do I keep both alive?

My kids are getting hard questions about faith at school and I want them ready. How do I prepare them?

We are new parents and we feel completely isolated. Does a church community actually help with something like this?

We tried doing family devotions and it was a disaster. Is this actually worth persisting with?

My child talks back to me constantly and I cannot tell whether to crack down or let it go. What is the right response?

I feel guilty for working and guilty when I am not working. Am I supposed to be at home with my kids?

Everyone has an opinion about where our kids should go to school and my spouse and I cannot agree. How do we decide?

My children are grown and I still cannot stop steering their lives. How do I actually let go?

We are considering residential care for my parent and I feel like a traitor for even looking into it. Is it wrong?

I am working constantly and my family gets whatever is left over. How do I change this before my kids are grown?
