Have you ever felt your heart race before walking into a classroom or talking to someone new? About half of all teens describe themselves as shy - but when that shyness starts holding you back from the life you want to live, it might be something deeper called social anxiety.
In this episode we break down the difference between shyness and social anxiety, why it matters, and how to start building confidence one step at a time. You’ll learn practical ways to quiet your inner critic, show up courageously (even when your voice shakes), and lean on your faith when fear tries to take over.
Whether you’re a teen girl who struggles with self-consciousness or a parent who wants to understand your daughter better - this episode offers hope, understanding, and Christ-centered encouragement. 🩷
You’ll Learn:
- The key differences between shyness and social anxiety

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
