You raise them for 18 years… and then no one tells you what comes next. The silence. The distance. The guilt. The grief of letting go. In this heartfelt conversation, Whitney Stadtman sits down with her mom, Tammie, who raised four daughters and now grandparents 17 grandkids, to unpack the hard questions parents quietly carry after their children are grown. This episode of Raising the Remnant explores what it really looks like to walk with your adult children in grace, how to process unmet expectations, grandparent in a modern world, and find joy in the season of letting go. This is the conversation no one warned you about, but every parent needs. Whether you're grieving the silence, longing for connection, or wondering if you did enough; this is for you.

We thought we were settled… and then everything shifted…again. To every remnant pioneer family, this message is for you. If 2025 began in a swirl of transition, grief, or deep questioning; you're not alone. Our family knows the ache of surrender, the trauma of being stripped down to nothing, and the crazy things God asks you to do like moving into a bell tent in the middle of an Idaho winter after a word from the Lord. But in this wild obedience, Jesus has walked with us. And He’s spoken clearly.

Wars and rumors of wars, economic troubles, end times prophecy? If we are paying attention, we know that the times we are facing in the years to come are guaranteed to be tumultuous, wrought with difficulty, also some incredible miracles, but definitely change on a scale the likes of which we have never seen. How do you raise a remnant who is prepared for what they will face in their lifetime? How do you train them and give them what they will need to stand strong in uncertain times? If you have ever asked these questions, this episode is for you. I feel like the Lord has been talking to me about some keys that will help our children traverse the years ahead, and I want to share them with you.
