Parenting Adult Children Spiritually

What happens when the kids you raised in church no longer want anything to do with church as adults?

In this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones tackle one of the most painful and common questions fathers face today. Why do so many adult children drift from faith, and what responsibility do dads still carry once their children are grown?

This honest and pastoral conversation explores the role of fathers as spiritual leaders, the danger of outsourcing discipleship to the church, and the long game of parenting that does not end at eighteen. Pete and Jayson talk about consistency, humility, repentance, prayer, and how to engage adult children without guilt or control.

If you are a dad wrestling with regret, fear, or confusion about how to lead your family spiritually, this episode offers wisdom, clarity, and hope rooted in the gospel.
