Teens can benefit enormously from having a close, genuine relationship with their dad, but sometimes — through any combo of life's challenges — it doesn't always work out that way. Dads and their teens then have to work TOGETHER to overcome those obstacles and build a bond. In this episode, Mark Gregston chats with a couple of young ladies staying at Heartlight who are both walking through challenging relationships with their fathers. Listen in now to hear their stories!

If there is one thing the majority of teens have in common, it's that they are desperate to be loved for WHO they are, not for what they do. So, Mom and Dad, does your teen feel loved unconditionally? Or do they feel like you have unmeetable expectations? It might be time to ask them! In this special devotional, Mark Gregston shares why you need to listen to what's on your teen's heart and shares ways you can initiate discussions about improving your relationship with them.
When your teen is struggling, the most powerful thing you can do is pray for them! That's why we created the "Prayers For My Teen," devotional for moms. Order yours at resources.parentingtodaysteens.org/product/7/prayers-for-my-teen
