Show Notes

Host Erika Seamayer-Williamson invites her adult daughter Erika Laine as well as her daughter's former youth pastor Kevin Batista back on the show.

This podcast is a very personal look inside Erika and her daughter Erika Laine's lives through the ups and downs of some tough years after divorce rocked their family. They share how the power of God's love and faithfulness were the pillars that stabilized and galvanized their relationship.

One of Erika's favorite quotes one of her former pastor's still rings true in her heart: "God is preparing you for what He has prepared for you!" During this podcast (which Kevin basically hijacked), they unpacked the truths and stories that brought them to maturity in Christ.

Erika does not advocate that single parents need approval of their own parenting skills from someone outside the family. However, as she reflected on their podcast conversation she admits that "it was so humbling to be validated all these years later from Kevin, that he believed I did a good job and made the best decisions I could for my daughter. "

Kevin prods host Erika to share the deets on how she launched her women's retreat ministry (Amazing Grace Retreats) and they also dive into how Erika Laine serves her mother and honors her as the lead minister during these weekend getaways for women.

"It's nothing short of a miracle to know that your children love God and walk in faith," Erika says in the episode. "And now to have her come along side me to lead these retreats is just the best thing in the world!"
