Parents often feel an unbearable weight of guilt when their children walk away from God or make destructive life choices. In this message, Dr. Doug Weiss tackles one of the most painful lies parents believe: that they are somehow to blame for the free will choices of their children. Through scripture and decades of counseling, Dr. Weiss shows that even God—the perfect parent—was rejected by Adam and Eve. If He didn’t take false responsibility, you don’t have to either.

This teaching dismantles the cause-and-effect mindset that many parents carry. While we can model love, discipline, and faithfulness, parenting is not a formula. Good parents can raise rebellious kids, and broken families can raise children who thrive in Christ. Your role is to love, guide, and pray, but you cannot override free will. Dr. Weiss shares how condemnation and self-blame come not from God, but from the enemy, and how to replace guilt with peace.

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to trust God’s timing in your prodigal’s journey. Rather than chasing them down or rescuing them from the pigpen, you can pray with confidence that God will send the right people across their path. Just like the father in Luke 15 waited on the porch, parents today can choose to release false guilt, trust God’s process, and keep their hearts soft while their child’s story unfolds. This video is a lifeline for any parent carrying the crushing burden of blame.
