Doing Life with Your Adult Kids, Featuring Jim Burns, Part 1

Parenting doesn't end when your kids become adults — but almost everything about how you parent has to change. In this episode of Family Vision, Dr. Rob Rienow sits down with Jim Burns (Homeword) for the first of two conversations on biblical parenting for adult children — how to disciple adult children well, move from controlling to mentoring, and pursue healing broken family relationships when culture, faith, or politics create distance. Rob and Jim cover: The 4 stages every parent moves through — control, coach, consult, mentor — and why adult kids need the last one Why unsolicited advice gets heard as criticism, and how to earn permission to speak into your adult child's life "Keep your mouth shut and the welcome mat out" — Jim's core principle for staying close to grown kids who are making hard choices How to relate to a culture-gap generation without becoming a "one-topic parent" who loses the relationship over politics or values Watch Part 2 here: https://youtu.be/QD-KXmHkNl4 Get Jim Burns' book, Doing Life with Your Adult Children: https://homeword.com/product/dlwac-book Do you have an adult child who has drifted from the faith?
