Speaker 1: Life Audio.

2
00:00:12,205 --> 00:00:15,845
Speaker 2: From the Salvation Army. Welcome to Heartbeat.

3
00:00:19,285 --> 00:00:22,165
Speaker 1: One of the hardest parts of parenting is watching your

4
00:00:22,245 --> 00:00:25,805
Speaker 1: kids make some of the same mistakes you made. We

5
00:00:25,845 --> 00:00:28,685
Speaker 1: do our best to share wisdom from our own experiences,

6
00:00:28,685 --> 00:00:31,925
Speaker 1: but in the end, sometimes they have to learn for themselves.

7
00:00:33,605 --> 00:00:37,245
Speaker 1: Author Philip Caputo once said, I guess every generation has

8
00:00:37,285 --> 00:00:39,805
Speaker 1: to learn the same old lessons on its own, and

9
00:00:39,845 --> 00:00:42,604
Speaker 1: as frustrating as that can feel, it also reminds us

10
00:00:42,644 --> 00:00:48,085
Speaker 1: of something important. Growth usually comes through experience, not just explanation.

11
00:00:48,885 --> 00:00:51,605
Speaker 1: That's why our role, either as parents or in youth

12
00:00:51,685 --> 00:00:55,405
Speaker 1: ministry isn't just to correct. It's to stay present, to

13
00:00:55,525 --> 00:00:58,685
Speaker 1: keep loving, keep praying, and keep pointing them to Jesus

14
00:00:58,805 --> 00:01:01,725
Speaker 1: even when they don't listen right away, because God is

15
00:01:01,765 --> 00:01:04,725
Speaker 1: patient with us and he's patient with them too.
