Summary
Our culture pushes teens to choose a major fast—but God cares far more about calling than speed. Today I’m joined by Jeff Reep to talk about helping teens discover how they’re wired, avoid costly mistakes, and make wise decisions about college, majors, and what comes next. If you’re a parent navigating the transition from high school to adulthood, this conversation will encourage and equip you.
