Steadfast: A Biblical Guide for the Crisis Moments That Cannot Wait - Paperback

by Megan Roddy (Author), Jeff Roddy (Author)

You love your child deeply.

You have prayed over them, poured yourself into them, and trusted God with their future. But something has shifted. They are pulling away. The conversations that used to come easily now feel impossible. And in the quiet moments, you wonder if you are missing something important.

You are not failing.

You are simply not equipped for what you are facing. Not yet.

What every parent in this moment needs is not more prayer advice or parenting theory. They need a biblical guide that tells them what to see, what to say, and how to walk beside their child before a struggle becomes a crisis.

STEADFAST gives parents the Biblical wisdom and practical tools to

• Recognize warning signs of at-risk behavior early
• Start hard conversations with grace and confidence
• Navigate self-harm, identity struggles, faith questions, digital dangers, and more
• Stay connected when everything is pulling your child away
• Respond with both truth and relationship instead of fear or silence

Chapters 1-7 build the essential foundation: understanding today's children and young adults (ages 10-24), the unique pressures of third-culture kids, the heart issues behind behavior, and how to approach difficult conversations without losing the relationship.

Chapters 8-14 address the specific crisis moments parents dread most - digital life and substances, faith and sexuality, self-harm, suicide intervention, nurturing the relationship through challenges, a Scripture-based prayer guide, and the long view of parenting.

Without the right tools, the distance grows. The signals get missed. And the window for the right conversation closes quietly, without warning.

With STEADFAST, you become the parent who sees it early, knows what to say, and stays connected when everything is pulling against you.

Clinically reviewed by licensed psychologists and counselors at Regent University, George Fox University, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

If you are sensing something has shifted with your child and you do not know what to say or do, reading STEADFAST is the right decision.
