The Eternality of Parenting

“We're going to invite you as an audience to address the reality
that we need to be mothered and we need to be fathered. Whether
we have children, whether we have a partner. We need to be
mothered and we need to be fathered. And equally, we need to
mother and father,” begins Dr. Dan Allender in this week’s
podcast episode, “The Eternality of Parenting.”


We all have a deep need to be loved and to belong. Our parents
are meant to be the first people to meet this need, but they are
not always able to do so perfectly. We all have wounds from our
childhood, and these wounds can continue to shape our lives.


As we grow into adulthood, our fundamental need for love and
belonging remains constant, even as we develop the ability to
care for others. Recognizing this truth allows us to delve into
the profound intersection of being both a parent and a child, as
we continue to navigate our personal journeys of growth and
healing.


Join Dr. Dan Allender and Rachael Clinton Chen as they share
personal stories of their experiences with being parented,
parenting, and even grandparenting. Together, they delve into the
profound concept of "The Eternality of Parenting" and its impact
on our lives and relationships.
