Parents today aren’t just trying to understand their teens — they’re trying to understand what’s happening in schools and why trusted programs are suddenly facing resistance.

In this episode of Baffled, we sit down with Bill and Angie Kagey of Impact, a ministry that has spent decades serving students in Hillsborough County through public schools, after-school programs, summer camps, and youth mentoring.

Together, we unpack:

• Why access to public schools has changed so dramatically
• How abstinence education evolved into sexual risk avoidance education
• What students are actually struggling with right now (beyond sex)
• Why culture, fear, and misunderstanding are shaping school decisions
• How ministries are being forced to pivot — not quit
• Why parents are harder to reach than students (and what might change that)

Bill and Angie also share powerful personal stories, practical insight from years in classrooms, and the heart behind the REAL Summit, an event designed to equip parents, youth leaders, and churches to engage teens with wisdom instead of fear.

This isn’t a debate episode.

It’s a behind-the-scenes conversation about culture, parenting, faith, and resilience — and how adults can better support teens in a divided world.

If you’re a parent, educator, youth worker, or mentor who feels overwhelmed or confused by the current landscape, this episode will help you move from confusion to connection.
