How to Positively Influence Your Adult Child (Part 2 of 2)

Driving is such a great illustration for life! We encounter people and circumstances that force us to make quick decisions all while trying to protect our family and ourselves. And we have to stay in the right lane to get to where we are headed. On this one-day Focus on the Family broadcast, pastor Kevin Thompson helps you learn how to navigate the roads of life—circumstances, situations relationships—by staying in your lane. By examining what belongs to us, what belongs to others, and what belongs to God, you’ll get a strong grasp on boundaries and how to apply them in your life.
