Fight For Your Prodigal – Laine Lawson Craft

When the world lures your child from the Lord, parenting can feel like a relentless, lonely battle. Laine Lawson Craft spent countless hours praying for her wayward children before they returned to God’s loving arms. 

Laine Lawson Craft is a speaker, host of the Warfare Parenting podcast, and bestselling author of Warfare Parenting: A Daily Battle Plan to Fight for Your Child.

Mom of three former prodigals, Laine shares biblical strategies that helped her win the spiritual battle for her children.

Steven was lost in shame. Numbing his pain with all the things…sex, alcohol, drugs, and the like for 15 long years. Then, all of a sudden, he felt the weighty presence of God as an Uber driver prayed for him.

Kaley was lost in depression. She believed the enemies lie that the world would be better off without her. She felt God’s presence as a girlfriend prayed over her.

And Lawson, her middle child, had periodically lost his mind before he experienced a deliverance and a clarity that led him back to God.

Laine shares her own stories of heartache and hope as well as sharing strategies for praying for your prodigal child as you fight FOR them, not against them, in the battle for their souls.

When Jesus entered Jerusalem, he was met by the cheering crowd – and all their expectations! He hadn’t come to bring temporary relief for their problems. He came to save the world. When God doesn’t meet your expectations, maybe He’s up to something better.

And Perry shares, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me, I’m not who I used to be!” When Jesus forgives ours sins, he also gives us power to live a new life. Not perfect. But as Perry shares, “The more I rest in forgiveness, the more power I find to walk out a new life.”

Shawna Beyer

Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
