Beginning Your Journey of Authenticity

Parenting teenagers is no walk in the park — especially when your child is going through a difficult phase and declaring they don’t need you anymore. If you have unresolved hurts in your own heart, their behavior can leave you feeling lost and rejected. Mark Gregston shares a heartfelt devotional about how important it is for you, as a parent, to spend time reflecting on who YOU are and any lingering traumas you may have so that you can begin a true journey of authenticity with your child.
