Summary
This is our first milestone for this podcast, and believe it or not, we've just reached our 50th episode.
So from all of us here at the Amen Clinic, thank you for your continued support and the wonderful feedback and reviews that you've left on iTunes.
Now to celebrate this milestone, we're joined by Dr. John Townsend, a prolific, New York Times bestselling author of almost 30 books.
Today's topic is all about the teenage brain. It's a topic that's near and dear to us because we too have a teenager who is so special in our life.
The problem is, in many families, these teens don't get the attention they need to prepare themselves for the future, to be the next leaders. They are left vulnerable to negative influences.
If you're in that same boat, be sure to listen, as Dr John Townsend shares with us his expertise in helping parents raise up teens with the right boundaries.

| 1:02.2 | So why did you write boundaries for teens? |
| 1:05.0 | Well, mainly just because everything I was here for the radio program that I do in the conference |
