Teen Faith in a World of Mixed Signals

🙏🏾 How can teenagers stay faithful to God in a world full of mixed signals? In this episode of the Unlocking Faith Podcast, Marquis Wadley sits down with Reverend Dr. Emory Berry Jr. to talk about how teenagers can live faithfully for God in today’s confusing culture. From 📱 social media and 🎵 music to 🎬 movies, 📺 TV, 👥 friends, and 🏠 family influences, young people are constantly receiving mixed messages about identity, truth, and how they should live. This conversation explores how teens can stay grounded in biblical truth, resist the pressure to conform, and build their identity in God instead of culture. We also discuss the important role of parents and guardians in modeling faith and helping the next generation navigate a world that often pulls them in the wrong direction. 📖 Key Scripture: Romans 12:2 📚 Featured Resource: Christ and Culture by H.
