How to Pray for Your Teenage Son - Brooke McGlothlin

Parenting teens is part heartfelt drama, part low-budget sitcom. One minute, you’re praying for wisdom, the next, there’s a slammed door or a bathroom battle. In this episode of *FamilyLife Today*, authors Brooke McLaughlin and Stacey Thacker join Dave and Ann Wilson to talk about praying for your teens—not just for them to change, but for you to be transformed too. Tune in for real talk on humility, spiritual battles, and why sometimes your best move is to offer fries and wait. Spoiler alert: “Leave me alone” doesn’t mean you stop showing up, it means you knock softer—and pray harder.
