Have you ever wondered why, even after doing ‘all the right things,’ your teen still pushes back or drifts from faith in God? Join Ginger Hubbard and Alex Cody, along with special guest Melissa Kruger, as they discuss the importance of providing a firm foundation to create an environment where teenagers’ faith can flourish.
