4 tips to combat fear
What are we going to do, Mary? The youth pastor asked me when he called to talk about my son, who was exhibiting worrisome teenage angst.
Sean had been dabbling with drinking and smoking pot, and rumors about him (most of which I was thankfully blissfully unaware of until much later) began swirling around the church we had called home for almost a decade.
What do you mean what are we going to “do”? I responded. What can I do that I’ve not already done? I’ve talked with him, prayed, and set some limits on his free time. I’m keeping the lines of communication open…
