With a show hosted by all youth group kids and two former youth pastors we were bound to have an episode on the joys of adolescence eventually. Understanding teenagers can be a difficult undertaking, especially the further we are removed from our own youth. This week we look at what adolescence is, how it has changed and how we can help be a part of creating a space for the emerging generation to thrive. The episode finishes with a new segment called Top 3. Jeff, Mona and Allen share their top 3 fictional adolescent characters.
