Why do teens hear biblical truth week after week and still seem to walk away unchanged? It might not be your teaching—it might be their brains. In this episode, we break down five surprising (and sometimes hilarious) facts about how the teenage brain works—and how understanding it can change the way you disciple students.

We cover:

• Why teens struggle with decision-making

• Why emotions often overpower logic

• Why risk-taking is wired into their brains

• What identity has to do with it all

• How to structure ministry around how teens actually learn

Plus, some true stories involving apples in AC units, freeze-out competitions, and the one video that made us go viral on TikTok.

Whether you’re a youth pastor, parent, or student leader—this episode will challenge the way you view your role in shaping the next generation.
