Almost weekly I’m asked about resources to help our teens grow in their faith. As much as I love the teenage years and all the crazy antics, I know these are also the years where time seems to be slipping away and our last ditch efforts of getting more Jesus into them kicks into overdrive. Or maybe that’s just me. ?   Laura Smith is joining us today to talk about our teens and everything from counseling, communication, and pointing them to Jesus very practically. She’s also written a new devotional that’s a great resource if you’re looking for ways to encourage your kids to spend time with the Lord each day.    Laura is a mom as well as a sought-after speaker and author. I’m thrilled to have her sharing a sweet word to those of us in the throes of raising teens (or kids who will be teens before we know what hit us).    Can’t wait for you to hear this conversation.   Pardon the Mess is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.
