Every teen's journey at Heartlight looks different — and everyone learns, heals and grows at their own pace. In today's show, Mark talks with two young men in the program, including Jack, who's been at Heartlight for 16 months. He reflects on his time there, and shares how he was initially skeptical, but gradually shed these misconceptions. Eventually, he arrived at a place of growth and gratitude, realizing that his parents' actions were driven by care and responsibility rather than a desire to send him away. Don't miss these great interviews!
