You Will Always Be a Parent
Parenting doesn’t end at eighteen—it changes shape. From Authority to Friendship: Navigating New Seasons with Adult Children gives you a clear, biblical roadmap for that new season, moving you from authority to influence and from rules to relationship. With pastoral warmth and real-life counsel, Tim Goeman shows how to honor your adult children as responsible, independent adults, while still offering gospel-shaped guidance on what these relationships should look like. Practical and to the point, the book tackles the moments where tensions flare—wedding expectations, adult kids moving back home, navigating technology, and favoritism. The ultimate goal is not to stay in a parental relationship with your children, but to transition to becoming friends with your grown sons and daughters. Whether you’re preparing for the launch, already in the thick of it, or helping others in your church, this guide will help you relate to your adult children with conviction, humility, and joy.
