Raising children is a journey of challenges and joys, and every mom has moments of doubt. But what if the weight of raising them well isn’t entirely on your shoulders? In this episode of Mom Life Unscripted, Jodi sits down with Susan, a mother of five, grandmother to 21, and now a great grandmother, to talk about raising kids who leave well. Susan shares how, despite the fear of ruining our kids, God's power to redeem is greater than any mistake we make. She also discusses the importance of character over accomplishments, modeling integrity, and the importance of letting go as our children grow. From praying that kids get caught when they do wrong (including a funny story with a police officer) to offering wisdom on cultivating strong relationships with adult children, Susan’s insights are full of hope. She also shares her simple yet powerful system for praying over her children and grandchildren, reminding us that God is always working while we wait. Whether raising little ones, navigating the teen years, or supporting grown children, this conversation is packed with encouragement, laughter, and biblical wisdom. Hang in there Momma, God has your back!
