Hour 1: The Trauma Tree
Trauma is a liar. It claims that all hope is lost and that pain dictates your life. Lisa Saruga understands this struggle deeply. Join us as Lisa Saruga walks with you through her own story and the stories of survivors, demonstrating how you can move through trauma, avoid re-traumatization, and grow stronger in your mind, body, and spirit.
Hour 2: Worth It
Being a teenager has always been complicated. And these days, it’s even more so; mental-health struggles, social upheaval, climate issues, the rise of AI, wars, and political polarization all add to the sense of uncertainty. In the midst of all that, can Jesus really make a positive difference in your life? What about when being a Christian puts you at odds with the values of your friends and with society in general? Is following Jesus worth it? Our guest, Chris Morphew, wants to show you why it absolutely is.
