Parenting Today's Teens - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Continually helpful information that makes sense, is easy to implement, and is wise. Thank you, Mark for sharing what you’ve learned about kids!

Raising teens is not an easy job. My teen and I had started butting heads pretty hard over this past summer. I was like, Jesus PLEASE take the wheel because I’m about to loose my mind. My child has been transitioning from a baby teen to a full fledged teen and I didn’t know how to handle it. I like that I can listen to this every morning and that it is just a short, sweet, and to the point message. Between God, prayers, devotionals, and this podcast, we are making great progress.

My child is not a teen yet, but I want to prepare myself ahead of time so all this wisdom can sink in over the next years. I stumbled upon this gem by accident, and I am so glad I did. I think one of the biggest mistakes parents make is automatically assume what the child always did. Thank you for such a dynamic and universal point of view and for being so respectfully truthful even when the parent may be the root of the problem in the home, and holding them accountable as well. This is so refreshing.

So helpful & insightful. Great way to stay informed & loving while your teen is going sideways.

I was really liking this show until the comments came up that god has created pornography and that it’s ‘beautiful and visually stimulating’ and to ignore when your boys are doing it. God did not create pornography for anyone to view and it is incredibly damaging to your child’s view on intimacy for the rest of their lives and relationships. Porn is not an accurate description of what sexual intimacy with a partner is supposed to look like. It’s created from evil. To encourage it or say it was created by god, I just couldn’t stomach this and stopped listening. There is some good advice and I like the different perspective but as a Christian parent, I don’t feel I can rely on some of this advice after hearing this episode.
