    The Mental Health of Teenagers

    This episode we welcome Jeni Gregory, mental health therapist and long-time friend of YFC, to talk with us about teen mental health. She tackles questions like, “What does good mental health look like?”, “What are warning signs that something is going on with my teen’s mental health?”, and “How do these questions about mental health apply to my marriage and other relationships?” Such good insight and practical wisdom!

    What's Causing the Rise in Teen Suicide and Suicidal Ideation?

    Long time youth ministry expert, Mark Schaufler, of MST Ministries joins us to tackle the difficult topic of teen suicide. In light of a dramatic increase in teen suicide and suicidal ideation (suicidal thoughts, wishes, preoccupation or ideas), Mark helps unpack some causes for why this is happening in 11-19 year olds today, what to look for, what to/not to say and do, and how we can come alongside this generation with a message of hope and posture of care. You won’t want to miss this wisdom and very applicable advice.

    Keeping Teens Engaged in the Church

    Join us as we welcome Reese Carlson, author and youth pastor, and Tim Smyth, Tacoma YFC Church Engagement Coordinator, to the show to discuss what it looks like to keep teens engaged in the church and growing in their faith.  Reese is the author of the new book, Church Doesn’t End with Z: Why Gen Z is Leaving the Church and How to Reach Them. Tim and Reese share research on declining church attendance, the necessity (and often missing element) of community, how to pray for the teens in your life, and practical steps for our listeners.
