Becoming - Podcast for Teens, Young Adults, and Individuals

CLICK TO TAKE THE LISTENER SURVEY

With election day coming soon...we knew we needed to bring this message to you in the middle of our break between season 1 and season 2! Our guest: Erin Geiger Smith is a journalist and a writer of 2 amazing books called Thank You for Voting, both for adults, and a young readers addition. As we understand the right to vote, and how we can better prepare our young people to become voters, we all get to participate in something that so many fought for for years! 

This episode is a completely non-partisan conversation about why young people should be involved in the process and education of voting. Erin does a great job of helping us to not get wrapped up in the politics...but to participate in sharing our voice in the policy that we each do care about. There are no downsides to being a voter!

This episode is incredibly close to our hearts. Tawni felt so strongly that she needed to study the topic of the God of the Impossible, and as she wrote this episode she knew it was for someone specific. A few weeks later, after some devastating news she realized the episode was for her. God is a God of miracles, he can do the impossible. When we think there are no possible solutions left...he will provide a solution that we thought was impossible. This episode has brought comfort in the face of an impossible time, and we hope it will do the same for you.

Stay tuned for Season 2. We are excited to continue to Become right along with you!

Next week we will be airing our 100th episode! Which by the way you will NOT want to miss, but we wanted to share a few things in this episode before you listen in next week. Over the last few months...a lot has been happening behind the scenes. With all that has happened and changed, we felt it fitting to let you know about Season 2 of Becoming! The heart of Becoming will be the same, we will always be keeping the teen in mind. However the teens who have been listening from the start are no longer teens, and we have a ton of adult listeners. We are going to be more inclusive of the other demographic of listeners that we have here as well...and just continue sharing the heart of what this podcast has always been about. Becoming more than we are and who we were always meant to be.

We also talk a bit about the topic "It Didn't Work Out". Tawni shares about her recent divorce and how she has been able to find new perspectives to hold onto as she has hope and faith that even when things don't work out, the best is still yet to come. We will experience many things not working out in this life...but the person who we become because of those disappointing experiences is exactly the person who God wants us to grow to be.

The career field is changing. It's changed in the last 10, 20, 30 years dramatically. We WANT to help prepare you to join the workforce as an adult with a plan and purpose. We want to encourage a confidence within you, that you are not only taking the right steps that will help get you jobs in the field you desire...but that you actually have the right skills, strengths, and values you need to get there. In order to do that, we have got to rethink the way the majority of us have been going about education and career training. 

Heather Glenn with Aligned Ambition is helping guide us through the best ways to discover what really is right for you, and how to stop walking blindly towards adulthood. This process is beyond valuable to helping you understand yourself better as well as finding a career, education program, college, or major. If you want to feel EXCITED instead of scared and unsure about your future...please join us as we walk you through where to start and how to continue this process.

Originally Aired: May 2, 2019

As a teen Tawni was terrified of speaking in front of others. No way! Would you believe it after hearing what an incredibly gifted speaker she is today? Being afraid of speaking...does not mean you should run away from sharing with others what is in your heart. Our guest today is an incredible motivational speaker, and has over 20 years of experience in helping leaders from the biggest companies in the world become even more! We wanted to have him share not only WHY practicing sharing stories and simple truths to others is important even at a young age, but HOW to sharpen your tools to have more confidence. S. Max Brown is of course and incredible speaker, because he not only taught us great tangible tools in public speaking but so many universal truths.

When we think about having a conversation...that might mean a lot of things to you. A conversation is simply talking and sharing ideas with others.

Brooke Romney is our guest today, and she features a weekly post on her Instagram account called “Teen Talk Tuesday”. This resource is incredible...and gives you quick access to important topics and current events, with prompts and questions to understand opinions on both sides of any given issue.
