Teen Stories: Finding Purpose Through Pain


Listen Later

When life gets tough, teens often find themselves searching for answers in the middle of their struggles — but sometimes, clarity takes time and patience. In today’s show, Mark sits down with two young men from Heartlight who open up about how their pain — whether it’s broken relationships, anger or loss — has shaped their journey. One teen, Malcolm, reveals how his parents’ divorce left him feeling abandoned and lost, leading to anger and acting out, but also pushing him to grow as a father to his own young son. Out of hardship, these young men found new purpose and hope for the future.

Is your teen spinning out of control? Find out if Heartlight can help by going to heartlightministries.org.
