Most encouraging and RIGHT ON TIME! Struggling parents of a 16-year old who, haven't done it all perfectly, but really believed we done those things God has required. Yet, just like you said, the teenage "stranger" in our house is not so sure that she believes much in ANY of the things we believe are important (love of God and service to Him, good grades, healthy and whole relationships). Heartbreaking. But this article has truly helped me TODAY! Thank you sir! We'll keep on doing what we know to do is right. Michelle B., Corona, CA
Mark Gregston, you are so great, thank you so much for all your wonderful advice. I listen to your radio show via podcast every week and it inspires me so much. You really help me getting through this difficult time with my 15 year old son. Things already improved a lot. I'm getting more and more aware of what I did wrong in the first years. I wish I could come to one of your seminars for parents, but as I live in Germany it's quite far away. I think, you're a real blessing. My heart goes also to all those other parents, who deal with their struggling teens and who don't give up.
Thanks again, Cornelia
