Kids seek out drugs for various reasons, but whether it's to cope with pain at home or to fit in with a group of friends, drug use can kickstart a slew of other problems. Teens often view drugs as an escape, but in reality, they're a pitfall that's hard to get out of. In this episode, Mark Gregston talks to a couple of Heartlight teens who both did drugs but found that a fresh start at the boarding school was what they really needed to get their lives back on track. Listen in for these incredible stories!

When your teen comes to you with questions about life, they're not looking for more facts and information, they're looking for REAL wisdom. Info can be found anywhere and shared by anyone, but as a parent, you have the ability to share insights your kids can actually use — and one of the best ways to share it is through stories. In this devotional episode, Mark Gregston explains why you should use a combination of heart and humor to share wisdom with your teens. Don't miss this great topic!
