How can we support our big kids, even when they make decisions about their faith lies that we don't approve of? How can we handle to heartbreak and sometimes the feelings of failure that come from having an adult child reject his faith?  Even when we are heartbroken, we can find strength in our own faith and hope in the goodness of God who loves our children even more than we do.
