Behind every rebellious act or risky decision, there’s often a story of shame that teenagers carry alone. Shame can trap teens in a cycle — fueling destructive behaviors and pushing them further from the people who love them most. In today’s episode, Mark welcomes two young men from Heartlight, who bravely open up about what drove them to self-medicate, rebel and run from home. Through honest reflection and support, both of them are learning to embrace their imperfections and rebuild trust with their families.
