After school we discuss relevant topics teens must deal with each day. These conversations shape how we minister and how we frame future dialogue.

My thesis supervisor, @samobiwon77.bsky.social , was a steady source of encouragement throughout the writing process that eventually shaped The Anguish of Adolescence. Here is Dr. Won’s endorsement of the book.

We started an adult pool league at the center to give our former teens—now adults—a place to stay connected and keep coming around. It’s a great way to continue the relationships that first began at the teen center.
The multigenerational age range is 19-40 plus.

Yesterday we discussed goodness. When asked what might be the source of goodness, none of the teens considered God as offering goodness to the world. The teens were notably uncomfortable talking about good and evil and stated so on several occasions.

After school today we discussed why teens do, and don't want to work.
Today, we discussed intrinsic value—whether they felt valued themselves, but we emphasized that God values them deeply & cares for them unconditionally.
The conversation revealed a lot. Some stared down avoiding the conversation while others were fully engaged. Only 1 believes a personal God exists.

I’ve created a fictional story that teens will perform through voice
acting. We’ll use our recording studio to bring the story to life,
giving young people an opportunity to showcase their drama skills. One teen has already started writing a story to voice act, & we're excited to see where it goes!
