In the last episode, we told stories exploring where the gospel meets teenagers. In today’s episode, Jesse Eubanks and Anna Tran reflect on all the things they couldn’t say about teenagers - including the pitfalls of sheltering our teens too long and exposing our teens too soon.

Anna and Jen explore what conservatives and progressives each get right and wrong about teenagers and how the way of Jesus is better, and Anna makes a phone call to someone around the world to see what they’re doing right now to make an impact on today’s topic.Join us on Patreon to hear Jen Beadbury’s response to our 3 extra questions.Donate to the ministry and podcast!ResourcesJen’s new book she co-wrote: Faith Beyond Youth GroupOther books Jen has written: Called: A Novel About Youth Ministry Transition and What Do I Believe About What I Believe?Study– The Great Opportunity: The American Church 2050Knowing is more than information transfer–Book from philosopher Esther Lightcap Meek: A Little Manual for KnowingKevin’s organization: Youth For ChristCreditsSpecial thank you to our interviewees Jen Bradbury and Kevin PringleSenior producer and host is Jesse Eubanks, co-host is Anna TranAnna Tran is our producer and audio editor.Music for this episode comes from Murphy D.X.
