Summary
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.

| 0:03.5 | This is Cynthia Yannoff, and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.1 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Guys, you don't need me to tell you that so many of us are dissatisfied. |
| 0:34.4 | We're empty. Our lives are rushed and overflowing, yet we're still low on joy |
| 0:38.1 | and purpose. It's like we overconsume things like social media. We get these temporary boosts, |
| 0:43.5 | but they actually leave us weak and weary and sometimes anxious and fearful. But there is hope. |
| 0:48.8 | We don't have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame and disappointment. |
| 0:53.8 | In a new book by Amy Seafford, it's called Starved. |
| 0:57.7 | She's sharing why we need a spiritual diet change in order to start enjoying a fulfilling |
| 1:01.8 | life. |
| 1:02.7 | She is a popular U-version Bible teacher, and my hope is that you will check this book out |
| 1:07.6 | and realize that we can be delightfully content, spiritually healthy, and free to |
| 1:11.8 | experience the goodness of Jesus. And so go wherever you buy books and check it out. It's called |
| 1:16.9 | Starved. Or you can go to amyceivert.com. Hey guys, welcome to Pardon the Mess. I'm so glad you're |
| 1:23.8 | joining us today. It is March and for most of us, that means it is a spring break |
| 1:30.1 | kind of month. I'm guessing most of you have a week in there that spring break for my family |
| 1:34.8 | because I have three different kids, three different ages, three different schools. We have three |
| 1:39.3 | different spring breaks. And so we are going to be doing different things with our kids and |
| 1:43.7 | looking forward to that. |
| 1:45.1 | The first one coming up is Brett and I, just the two of us, because Mike can't get out of town. |
| 1:49.6 | Brett and I are going to Nashville. |
