GMOR - Mikey And Ryan - a podcast by Give Me 1 Reason

A story about....A Christian mom who is a pastor talks with her atheist sons...they ask the hard questions and she is challenged in her core as she second guesses the way she raised them...in the end there is nothing but love.

This was again hard for a parent to hear but important for a parent to hear. I listen as my two oldest tell me why they have left the faith as I search for reasons and answers to their questions.

Sometimes it is painful and challenging to your worth as a parent to have these honest conversations yet I am very proud of the fact we can have them. Human suffering, the problem of evil, why God is not worthy of our worship and why wont I give in and give up my faith in light of their seemingly reasonable rejection of the God of the Bible are just a few of the things discussed. Hard to hear till the very end and it ends not resolved but we all learned more about each other and I am good with that.

I affirmed their religious past and why I felt we did the best thing for them at the time, the things that seemed silly now yet I still defended them.

This was done in the middle of the night over Christmas and again...whiskey ;)thankfully

To my sons, I love you forever, I'll like you for always...as long as I'm living...(you know the rest)
