Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Jim discusses how spiritual discipline helps us become better equipped to handle whatever comes our way. Using Jesus’ example in Luke 6:12, picture a wagon wheel with three parts: solitude, community, and mission. Should I wait for my daughter to make the first move so we can have a relationship? She’s 46, and we can’t seem to find peace between us. She resents that I left New York and her. We moved across the country to be close to my in-laws, but I’m having a hard time with my mother-in-law, who won’t even babysit for us. She doesn’t let my husband’s cousin or sister talk to me unless I mend things with her. Should I be the one to mend the relationship? My 19-year-old daughter is living with a man out of wedlock. Since I don’t agree with her lifestyle, should I stop paying her car insurance?
