2. Have guidelines to teach kids for healthy relationships
3. See one hidden benefit that comes from teen relationships

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Parenting teenagers is fun and challenging all at once. You get to enjoy them being more independent but also have to navigate how to let them be independent while still guiding them in making good choices that they want to make on their own.

In today’s episode, Quinn encourages listeners to stay sane while parenting teens by:

1. Teaching parents how to not take it personally when your teen doesn’t enjoy you
2. Remembering the importance of protecting them digitally but giving them real life freedom
3. Giving grace when they make mistakes because they will

Mind Renewal Tip:
Even mature teens are immature! There brains aren’t fully developed so don’t be surprised when they show it.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

It’s that time of year when division can easily seem all around us. Politics, holidays, everyday life. It can feel overwhelming to disagree with people you love, and it can feel angering to not know how to handle it!

In today’s episode, Quinn shares her best tips in helping you create understanding and find peace when the world tells you to fight by:

1. Giving you one overarching principle to guide your conversations.
2. Offering a mindset to start a heated conversation with.
3. Teaching a tip to deescalate yourself when feeling triggered with anger.

Mind Renewal Tip:
Being angry at someone that doesn’t agree with you is about as pointless as brushing your teeth with Oreos in your mouth. Nothing productive comes from it but frustration.

Scripture Renewal Tip:
Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick tempered displays folly. Proverbs 14:29
