Parenting Today's Teens

Teen Stories: From Isolation to Connection


Listen Later

Every family faces seasons where connection feels out of reach, especially with teens wrestling for independence or struggling to find where they belong. In this episode, Mark sits down with a couple of Heartlight residents who open up about the challenges behind their conflicts at home. Sixteen-year-old Joey shares how his adoption and early family experiences left him questioning his place, often pushing others away even as he longed for connection. Both teens reflect on the importance of breaking down walls — whether built by hurt or by habit — to find healing with their families.
