This week, I had the priviledge of being interviewed by The 700 Club on The Christian Broadcasting Network. I spoke about how your child can fall into the struggles of rebellion and addiction, why it seems like children are becoming rebellious at a younger and younger age, and how creating a proper battle plan can help win back your prodigal.

I explain how to partner parents with God. You can safely hand over control of your children to God. Realizing that our children are God's creation and they belong to Him, we can release them into God’s care. By giving God full ownership of our prodigals and continuing in a partnership as parents, we are putting our assured victory directly in God’s hands.

Things We Talk About in this Episode:

• How do we fight against the sin that is holding our child back without going to war with our child themselves?
• Why is it so important that you as a parent pray for your child? How can we learn to pray properly for our children in the midst of their battles?
• What is the best battle plan we can create as parents to help fight for our prodigals? How can The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal help?

When it comes to making our adult children listen to us and helping them step into who God created them to be, we have to recognize we are fighting a spiritual war for our child. However, we are not at war with our child, we are at war with the darkness that is in the world today. That is why I am so excited to talk to best-selling author Jim Burns on this episode of the Warfare Parenting Podcast.

Jim shares that over 65% of children who graduate highschool walk away from their faith, and talks about what parents need to do in that period of their child's life to help them find their way back to God. Jim stresses the importance of a resource like my book, The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal, to give parents strategies and hope to impliment in their lives to win their child back.

Things We Talk About in this Episode:

• What makes The Parent's Battle Plan: Warfare Strategies to Win Back Your Prodigal such a powerful, potent resource and how can it help bring our children back to God?

I often like to say the enemy looks for cracks in our lives, small weaknesses or temptations that he can slip into to open us up to sin and temptation. It can become a full on spiritual war for your life, and often times, you don't know how you will find deliverance from the darkness. That is why I am so blessed to have my son, Steven H. Craft, Jr., as today's guest.

Steven shares the story of his battle in darkness with exposure to pornography. Over many years, he struggled with these spirits of lust and feelings of inadequacy. He began to turn to alcohol and drugs as a source of "happiness", only to find the feelings of anxiety grow. However, as he explains in this episode, his story does not end in the darkness, but speaks to rebirth and deliverance through the power of Jesus.
