Navigating Adolescence

This is a conversation with Shannon Scott. As you'll hear in this episode, Shannon has had a long and interesting career working with kids and families both in churches and schools. She also has three adolescents of her own with her husband Jeff. She recently joined the Church of the City staff where she is leading KidCity at COTC Franklin. In this episode, she shares thoughts on topics such as why family worship is important, how parents can talk with their kids about Scripture, and what parents of younger children can do now to prepare for the adolescent years. Toward the end of the episode, she shares about her family's decision to follow God to Nashville and what the transition from Atlanta to Nashville has been like. Enjoy!

It is mid-December which means many students are right in the middle of exams. We asked a handful of college students to look back on when they were stressed out about exams in high school and share what their perspective is now. We hope you find this episode encouraging as you help your son or daughter navigate stress and anxiety around academic performance.

This a conversation we recently recorded with Jeff and Lora Helton. Jeff and Lora bring a combined 40+ years of experiencing as pastors and counselors. They also have raised four children who are now adults, and we asked them to share about how we can help our kids navigate the areas of sex and dating. We are so grateful for their wisdom and transparency as they address this critical topic from a number of different angles.
