  Marci gets real about what it’s like to be a mom whose kids are growing up and moving out. With six kids and nine grandkids, she knows firsthand how hard (and rewarding!) it is to raise a family—and how empty the house can feel when everyone leaves. In this conversation, Marci opens up about the messy emotions of the empty nest, the struggles (and surprises) of launching kids, and why perfection isn’t the goal. She talks about learning to let go and trusting God with the next chapter. If you’re facing your own “year of lasts” or wrestling with what comes next after parenting full-time, Marci’s story will remind you that God still has a good plan for you—no matter what season you’re in.

  256 - The Power of Deliberate Connection- Amy Loflin

  Jul 21, 202638 minS6

  Amy Loflin leads us in deep truth from Luke 8 in this episode of The Mom Next Door: Stories of Faith. Here are 3 key takeaways every parent, leader, and faith-driven individual can carry into daily life: Be Deliberate, Not Just Present: Many gathered around Jesus, but only one woman reached out with intention and received transformation. Are you living in casual proximity to faith, or intentionally seeking growth? Break the Cycle of Emotional Distance: Trauma and grief can make us withdraw from those we love. Recognizing and healing these patterns isn’t only for our benefit—it shapes the emotional health of our children and their futures. Jesus Is Our True Center: When our security comes from Christ—not roles, people, or status—we're equipped to handle the changes and losses that life throws at us, and we model that resilience for our families. For practical tools and more encouragement, check out Amy’s book, A Story Worth Living , and visit Echo Joy Collective for free resources. Let’s be intentional about faith, presence, and transformation—in our own lives and in those we influence! #Faith #Parenting #EmotionalHealth #Leadership #StoriesOfFaith Previous Episodes of Similar Content The Mom Next Door Ep. 205 with Traci Vogel - "Hope in Hardship" • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAwPAZQoTFU The Mom Next Door Ep. 214 with Joan C.
