Kathy Cunningham is truly remarkable. Her wisdom, patience, and understanding help us grow in emotional maturity and communicate with grace. Her Scripture‑based teaching reminds us that God is with us and that we’re not walking this journey alone.

Her resources are golden nuggets we use every day — tools that help us listen well, stop giving unsolicited advice, build healthy boundaries, and keep the door open in love. Kathy has also created a safe, supportive community where we can connect, share, and learn together. Our monthly virtual support groups and guest speakers make this an incredible outreach for anyone seeking emotional health and encouragement. Grace Restored is hope, healing, and community — all in one place.

Kathy is a very kind, compassionate, and wise encourager to parents of adult children. Her teachings are always supported by findings from studies and comforting, hope-filled scriptures. I always read her postings and try to attend her Zoom classes when I can.

Kathy has been so helpful with all of her knowledge and wisdom. It has been so helpful.

Before finding Kathy, I felt strained and heartbroken with my relationship with my adult daughter. My girls are my greatest treasure, and as we seemed to be growing farther apart, I didn’t know what to do. I felt like a fish out of water. Kathy has an incredible gift for bringing hope and clarity to difficult family relationships. She speaks truth with kindness, and every lesson is firmly grounded in Scripture.

She doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear, she lovingly points you toward God’s truth and equips you with practical wisdom to build healthier relationships. Because of Kathy’s teaching, I have more peace, more understanding, and, most importantly, hope. I no longer feel stuck. I have a new perspective and confidence that God is at work, even when I can’t see the outcome yet. Kathy, thank you for saying yes to Christ and faithfully using your gifts to serve others. Your wisdom, expertise, and compassion have been a tremendous blessing to me, and I’m so grateful God led me to your ministry.

Grace Restored has given me the tools to start letting my young adult children go and unparenting them in peace. Having access to all the online classes at anytime I need them is invaluable. I still have a lot of work to do, and I'm thankful that this tool will continue to be available.

My words are limited to express how thankful and grateful I am!!! Thanks God! For this support group, for the ministry of Mrs. Kathy Cunningham! I am currently going through a very challenging season with my adult single mom daughter, but thanks God He led me to to this support group, in the few months that I began participating the program, just by the first session, I have received hope, guidance, amazing teaching, I feel the love, the care from Mrs Cunningham and her excellent and knowledgeable guests, from the parents that share their stories and participates in the zoom sessions support group. I would not leave it for nothing! This is an awesome ministry! God bless them!!! Thank you!

My relationship with both my daughters is so much better now since I have learned and applied your principles. I wish all parents would join and learn. The golden nuggets are priceless. Your zoom calls, library, guest speakers and much more is worth the small monthly stipend.

Very practical and applicable information.

Grace Restored is life-changing for my thoughts, words, and actions! I experience a new, deeper level of peace! The teachings and resources are encouraging, applicable, and actionable. I've learned that I can only control myself. So, I work to heal myself and deepen my relationship with God.

I've learned that acceptance does not mean approval. I've learned the power of the pause, prayer, and a deeper trust in God. The gift of community reminds me that I am not alone. Thankful for learning new, positive, healthy ways to communicate and process life through both the happy and the hard times!

Kathy is amazing, hands down. My daughter was struggling with life in general, anxiety and depression. It was running my life and was the barometer for my overall happiness. I found Kathy on instagram and joined her membership. She opened my eyes, more so, God opened my eyes to not just my daughter changing (which is not mine to carry as she is an adult) to making changes within myself.

It’s been a year, and I feel lighter, stronger in my faith, and my daughter is doing much better now that I respect her decisions, give her to God, because I know He can reach her where I cannot. Kathy pointed out many things within me that needed to change. As she states, she once was in a similar position with her adult children. I am so thankful for Kathy, she’s given me the tools to handle situations with my daughter. Our relationship is closer in a different way now, respectful, and I’ve learned to support her, love her, without carrying what is not mine to carry.

Kathy Cunningham’s ministry to parents of adult children has truly been a blessing of godly inspiration, excellent advice, and countless, incredible answers to prayer. My husband and I had raised 4 wonderful children in a close-knit Christian home, had served in music ministry together, and launched all 4 into adulthood as university graduates on their way to successful careers. We were enjoying our happy empty nest, and were thoroughly delighting in the new season of grandparenthood with one married adult child who had blessed us with two beautiful grandchildren—one newly born.

We were completely "blind-sided" when the wall of estrangement erupted like a volcano and disrupted our family in ways we could have never foreseen. There is NOTHING that could have prepared me for the emotionally devastating, heart-breaking years of estrangement that began when our only married, beloved, adult child began hurling accusations, attacking us with intense criticism, false narratives, listing in specific detail my every (perceived) fault and flaw, ultimately going "no contact" and refusing to let his father and me see our grandchildren.

The Lord Jesus knew how much we needed help!! We prayed every night for divine intervention, and truly God answers prayer. Last fall, Kathy appeared in my Instagram feed, and I was touched by her delightful way of sharing her heart. I enjoyed many a morning having "Coffee with Kathy", reading her posts and listening to her pearls of godly wisdom. I joined the Grace Restored course, and found in her community that there were others going through the season of estrangement. I have loved going through her classes at my own pace, as my schedule allowed, prayerfully re-reading, re-playing parts that especially ministered to me, and joining in live ZOOM sessions whenever I could.

God used Kathy to teach me how to walk this difficult season of my life in new and powerful ways—and I’m still learning!!! PRAISE THE LORD for the breakthrough!!! A few short months ago, the wicked walls of estrangement began to crumble… texts were responded to, FaceTime calls & video visits with our out-of-state grandchildren resumed, cards and gifts exchanged (I never stopped sending them), and finally a request to come to town for a visit (after 5 years of refusing to come see us).

We recently thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our nation’s anniversary and our 41st wedding anniversary together with an incredible visit with our son and his lovely wife and children. My heart is still overflowing with gratitude to God for his incredible answers to prayer—and those include Kathy Cunningham. Thanks, Kathy, for sharing your life’s journey, your experience, your maturity in Christ, and your passion for helping the parents and grandparents of adult children going through extremely difficult life seasons. I still have a lot to learn, but praise God, I am on my way. May God continue to guide you and use you powerfully in this life-changing ministry.

I have been struggling with everything that Kathy talks about in her sessions—from adult children wanting space to ignoring me, the addiction of my son to drugs, to difficult daughters-in-law relationships, and not often being able to see my grandchildren.

Kathy has helped me in so many ways by me just staying tuned to her "Coffee with Kathy." I cannot begin to describe how spot on her advice has been. Thank you with all my heart.
