Most of their parents were caught completely off guard by their child's addiction. In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd talk about why it's better to be OVERprepared rather than underprepared for your teen to experiment with drugs, and share some warning signs to look out for.

From the outside, today's teen culture looks crazy — practically every parent can agree on that! But it's important to remember that it's all your child knows and if you don't understand their culture and only offer criticisms, it will damage your ability to share real wisdom and perspective with them. In today's episode, Mark Gregston shares a special devotional focused on how you can share your knowledge and experience with your teen in meaningful ways.
