How does God view discipline? Is He an angry taskmaster or a gentle shepherd?
As summer break draws closer, we’re revisiting an episode with Mark and Wayne about setting your teen up for success. Boredom isn’t harmless — it can open the door to unhealthy habits if teens lack structure and purpose. Mark shares practical ways to create balance through responsibility, work and meaningful family connection. You’ll also hear from Jared, a teen at Heartlight, who explains how addressing addiction, anxiety and broken trust helped him begin rebuilding his life and relationships. His story is an important reminder that behind every behavior is a deeper need. This episode will help you move your teen from drifting to growth. Check it out!
