What happens when teens feel unheard at home? This week, Mark talks with two Heartlight teens, who bravely share their battles with depression, insecurity and the search for real connection. Beneath struggles with anger, risky choices or even isolation, both young women's stories reveal a powerful theme: Teens desperately need their parents to truly listen — not just jump into problem-solving or judgment. Honest conversation, open minds and small acts of understanding can make all the difference for hurting teens.

Follow anyone on social media? People choose their favorites — travel bloggers, DIY geniuses, chefs who can cook practically anything with practically nothing. (And yes, Pastor Greg Laurie is on all the major platforms, too.) But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg points out a similar choice in the Christmas story. When Jesus was born, some people hit “follow” right away, and others just scrolled on by. And believe it or not, that same decision is still in front of us today.

Want financial freedom and the joy of giving back? Join Chip’s new series, "The Genius of Generosity," starting now!

Four reasons it’s genius to be generous:

1. Generosity CHANGES our lives. -Acts 20:35; Pr. 11:25

2. Generosity CONNECTS us with others.

3. Generosity helps us INVEST in what matters. -Mt. 6:19-24

4. Generosity FREES our hearts.

Question: If generosity is so smart, why isn’t everyone doing it?

• WEALTH is powerful and deceptive. -Mt. 13:22
• The lure of MAMMON worship. -Mt. 6:24
• It demands FAITH. -Mt. 6:19
• Temporal myopia. -Mt. 6:23

Breakthrough Concept #1: Generosity is the gateway to intimacy with God.

Three questions brilliant people ask

1. Am I using the money entrusted to me in accordance with the OWNER’S wishes?

2. Am I carefully keeping account of where all the OWNER’S funds are going?

3. Am I becoming “best friends” with the “OWNER” by the privilege and opportunity of managing His resources?
