What kind of impact does a father really have on a teen’s life? In this episode, Mark, Wayne and Heartlight Counselor Courtney LaFleur talk about the unique and powerful role dads play in shaping their teens’ identity, confidence and sense of worth. You’ll hear how time, presence and genuine interest can transform even strained relationships. When dads show up — especially in the small, everyday moments — it creates lasting connection. Because what you give your teen today can shape the direction of their life for years to come.

Mom shame doesn’t just whisper—it isolates. Maybe this looks like snapping, hiding, the “I’ll fix it myself” cycle. And meanwhile, you’re exhausted and still feel like you’re coming up short. Abbey Wedgeworth, author of Help! I'm Ruining My Kids: A Gospel Guide for the Mom Who's Desperate for Change, names what’s really going on—behind the anger, the silence, the pressure to hold it together. She digs into why going it alone keeps you stuck longer than you think.

Dr. Kathy Koch wants to help parents adjust to a “new normal” when their children become adults. The relationship has changed, and parents of adult kids need to change their expectations, listen more and advise less, break free from codependency, and give these new adults space and freedom to become the people God made them to be.
