In this episode, we dive deep into the struggles today's teenagers face, from social media pressures to anxiety, depression, and self-worth issues. As a youth leader and mom of three boys, I’ve had heartfelt conversations with young girls who openly share their insecurities and challenges. With the rise of technology, academic pressures, and shifting cultural norms, teens today are navigating a world filled with unrealistic expectations, peer pressure, and overwhelming stress.
We’ll discuss how parents, mentors, and leaders can step in to provide encouragement, boundaries, and biblical wisdom to help teens thrive. I’ll share practical strategies to create safe spaces for open conversations, set healthy technology limits, and instill identity in Christ over societal approval. If you’re raising a teen—or mentoring one—this episode is for you.
What you'll learn:
- How social media impacts teen mental health and self-worth
- Ways to support your teen’s mental well-being through open conversations
