What’s shaping your teen’s beliefs, and why do they sometimes latch onto ideas that create tension at home? In this episode, Mark and Wayne unpack how today’s teens are influenced by culture, peers and a deep desire to belong. When teens adopt strong opinions or causes, it’s often less about the issue and more about identity and connection. You’ll learn how to respond without overreacting, keep conversations open and stay relational even when you disagree. Plus, Mark and Heartlight Counselor Courtney LaFleur talk to a teen about how struggles with acceptance can shape behavior — and how real change begins.
