Parenting teens and young adults in today’s world can feel like navigating a maze—with social media, mental health, faith questions, and major life transitions all in the mix. In this episode, Jim Burns is joined by licensed professional counselor, speaker, and author Michelle Nietert to talk about helping our kids grow strong and secure in a confusing world. They unpack how to disciple your children, respond to doubts about faith, guide them through the challenges of high school and adulthood, and talk honestly about social media, mental health, and substance use. With wisdom, practical tools, and compassion, Michelle reminds parents to stay curious—not cynical—and equips them to walk alongside their kids with grace and truth.
