We have been trying to make this episode happen for– no lie– probably over a year now. But without schedule conflicts, sickness, and even technology barriers, it is finally in your hands. Parents of teens, grandparents of teens– this one’s for you. But parents of younger kids, this is not one to sleep on, as many of these topics will begin forming far before the teen years.
Lindsay King, my sister, and a mother of three teenagers is on the show today sharing some points that she sat down and intentionally wrote out just for herself one day on how she wanted to be present in this season of having teens. From what teens need to what we can expect in these years, we’re covering conversations on identity, friendship, discernment, and moving towards making big life decisions.
It is SO good– but before you think this is only a parenting conversation, what I love about Lindsay and this conversation is that she takes everything inward first. Yes, we want to teach these to our kids, but are we walking them out? Yes, we want to be intentional in these areas and topics with our teens, but are they catching it in the way we live just as much as we’re speaking it?
It’s an episode of encouragement, laughter, wisdom, direction, grace, and soul-searching as parents. We had so much fun discussing it all, and I know it will spark so many thoughts for you as well.
