In this episode of the Strength & Weakness Podcast, hosts Ellen Radcliff, LMFT, and Morgan Roberts discuss one of the most important—and often misunderstood—questions for Christian parents:
What is my role in my child’s faith journey?
Drawing from real therapy experiences and personal parenting stories, we unpack:
- The harmful myth that “if you do everything right, your child will follow God”
- How this belief creates shame, fear, and disillusionment for parents
- The difference between influence vs. control
- How your child’s faith journey is ultimately between them and God—not you
We also explore how parenting impacts your own relationship with God, especially when things don’t go the way you expected.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get it right” as a Christian parent—or fear that you’ve somehow failed—this conversation will bring clarity, freedom, and a healthier framework.
