About this episode
So many teens today struggle with feeling isolated. It becomes hard — even scary — to open up to others and learn to trust. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two Heartlight residents who open up about the emptiness and insecurity that fueled their destructive choices, from substance use to pushing family away. Both teens share how feeling unworthy of love or belonging left them feeling alone — even as they craved acceptance. At Heartlight, they're beginning to see their own value and experience genuine connection with others. Know a young adult who has a heart for working with teens? They may be a great addition to our residential staff at Heartlight! Learn more today at heartlight.jobs Parenting Today's Teens is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
