Part of raising a teen is accepting that they will hurt you at times — whether it's by disobeying you, making poor decisions or choosing not to believe in the same things you do. But your teens need you to keep fighting for the relationship, even when you disagree. In this episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss how to approach your teen when they've hurt you and why it's important to pick your battles.

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!
