Customer Reviews
Helpful content
I am a middle school principal. I appreciate the information and discussions on topics relevant to the student I see. The podcast helps me understand better the perspective of a generation quite removed from my own. It also helps me think about my own stances on what students experience from a Christian point of view.
Parent Gold
This is such a great resource for parents (or youth leaders/teachers/counselors) to connect with teens in meaningful ways. It’s also a great resource for just understanding teen culture from a non-judgmental Christian perspective.
The best content to help understand my teens world and how to deal with it
This content breaks down what teens are talking about. That in itself is helpful but then they take it a step further and share ideas for how to talk to teens about these things and how to open a spiritual conversation if possible. I’m a youth minister and a mom of a teen girl and this is GOLD for me!!
