I talk with my son often on a weekly basis as I coach him through the formation of his new business. Unfortunately, our spiritual conversations are much more rare. Despite a strong faith as a child and teenager, he drifted away from his faith while in college (largely the result of a spiritually immature, cult-like church peer group). He and his young family are currently unchurched. He texted me yesterday that he was going through a “rough patch” and wanted to forgo today’s business coaching session.

When one of your children goes through rough times (which they inevitably will), what would you want them to do? My guess is you would want them to call on you or some other person who can help.

Your prayers, dear reader, would be appreciated.
