How to Walk with Loved Ones who Have Left the Faith

By Everett Fritz

We want what is best for our loved ones, and the greatest gift we can give them is a relationship with Jesus Christ and his Church. But what can be done when adult children walk away from the faith? More importantly, how can we recognize and support their faith journey instead of hindering the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives? The transformation of the human heart cannot be mapped or controlled.

In this webinar, Everett Fritz, author of One Disciple at a Time and president of Andrew Ministries, will explain why Jesus leaves the 99 in search of the one and how we can follow his example by prioritizing ministry that addresses the needs of individuals.
