Roxane Salonen discusses an important topic and the subject of her new book, "What Would Monica Do?" (Ascension) — when children leave the faith of their parents. Recognizing everyone is on their own journey, staying hopeful and faithful, and trusting in the knowledge of God's almighty love for each of us!

Allison confesses a painful Easter a-ha moment, one she's not proud of. Roxane imparts lots of encouraging wisdom for parents whose children are not currently practicing a faith. Lesson Number One: It is their journey, not yours—definitely one of Allison's favorite (and most needed) reminders from this conversation.
