In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss the real challenges of raising teens while sharing a powerful reminder: Gratitude can make all the difference. During tough times, they emphasize the importance of leaning on God, trusting in His guidance to see you through to brighter days. They encourage parents to find something they genuinely appreciate about their teen and express it. This small act of gratitude can help bridge the gap, bringing you closer to your teen and offering support until you’re through the trial.
