I was really liking this show until the comments came up that god has created pornography and that it’s ‘beautiful and visually stimulating’ and to ignore when your boys are doing it. God did not create pornography for anyone to view and it is incredibly damaging to your child’s view on intimacy for the rest of their lives and relationships. Porn is not an accurate description of what sexual intimacy with a partner is supposed to look like. It’s created from evil. To encourage it or say it was created by god, I just couldn’t stomach this and stopped listening. There is some good advice and I like the different perspective but as a Christian parent, I don’t feel I can rely on some of this advice after hearing this episode.

Thank you every day for your insight and sharing how to love and raise my adopted three in today’s negative world. I learn so much from your ministry.

So helpful & insightful. Great way to stay informed & loving while your teen is going sideways.

I’m not Christian and this guy is really good. Totally applicable no matter your faith. Thank you!

Beyond Wonderful podcast

Thank you for your wise words. Listening helps me to step back and breathe regarding our teen girl—helps refocus and continue in the battle for our kids. So thankful we found this podcast.

I would like to say thank you so much for sharing your wisdom , I have a girl 13 years old the love of my life, my sunshine and all this information that you are sharing is so helpful , thanks a lot

My child is not a teen yet, but I want to prepare myself ahead of time so all this wisdom can sink in over the next years. I stumbled upon this gem by accident, and I am so glad I did. I think one of the biggest mistakes parents make is automatically assume what the child always did. Thank you for such a dynamic and universal point of view and for being so respectfully truthful even when the parent may be the root of the problem in the home, and holding them accountable as well. This is so refreshing.

I’ve been listening to Moody In Chicago for over 30 years and this Show comes on Saturday . When my kids were growing up I could listen to these kids pour there hearts out . I knew about issues and how to approach the kids . They thought I was a genius, I knew how to approach them , comfort them , address there needs . My heart goes out to the kids and Mr.Grayson ,does a great Job .

Parenting first, Christian without forcing it down your throat, and the best thing that I found in podcast.

Raising teens is not an easy job. My teen and I had started butting heads pretty hard over this past summer. I was like, Jesus PLEASE take the wheel because I’m about to loose my mind. My child has been transitioning from a baby teen to a full fledged teen and I didn’t know how to handle it. I like that I can listen to this every morning and that it is just a short, sweet, and to the point message. Between God, prayers, devotionals, and this podcast, we are making great progress.

Continually helpful information that makes sense, is easy to implement, and is wise. Thank you, Mark for sharing what you’ve learned about kids!

With three teenage daughters in today’s culture, my anxiety might be out the roof without my daily dose of this podcast. Mark has helped me to realize that my parenting techniques, which were basically my loving parents’ techniques, were not working in this present day of social media and internet information overload. I knew I was not getting the relationship with my girls and the results in their lives I so desire for them. It is a work in progress, so I rely on this podcast daily on my way home from work to keep a loving, experience-based, Christian perspective in the forefront of my mind when I walk in the door to engage with my daughters. Thank you, Mark and staff!!! Please keep this resource coming!!

Really helping me to understand my child better and how to raise him better. Thank you!

Nothing helpful here

Such an amazing podcast! It have being giving us the chance to open our eyes to realities that are coming soon (mom of a ten year old). Soooo thankful for this program. I like the variety (interviews, chats and devotionals) Thank you so much! God bless you!

This podcast blessed my family. Information is both relevant and insightful.

I have had people say “yeah, but, it’s very Christian and that turns me off/isn’t me/I can’t relate” etc. I hear you. And yourself a favor, this guy’s got the good stuff. Try 2, and, if I’m talking to you, skip the episodes that don’t sound like you. There are plenty that can give you valuable info. Honest.

Your advice are so helpful!

As a mom of 4 teenagers and a Tween, I cannot thank you enough how helpful this solid, realistic, sound and Godly advice is. I appreciate this ministry, and podcast, so very much!!!

Thank you for your insight on tweens and teens. Your podcasts now play in my car and on my long runs. Your ministry is Amazing!! May you be blessed and please continue to share your wisdom with us. I have a 10, 13 and 15yo.

For the parent feeling stuck, the parent starting out, or the parent wanting to stay on the right track, this podcast is for you. It helps parents think out of box of the chaos that can be the teen years to stay connected to their child.

Mark Gregston covers many important topics in parenting teens. His advice is practical and realistic.

We currently have three teenagers and have found parenting teens to be very challenging! We have also been having a hard time figuring out how to get on the same page when parenting them. This podcast is an amazing resource! It is practical, biblical and provides very helpful strategies for navigating this critical life stage. I am strongly recommending this podcast to everyone I know who has teenagers!!

Thank you for this down to earth and reasonable advice. It is so helpful for our family.

My daughter is a senior in high school. Wished I had come across this podcast years ago.

I believe this is the best podcast on parenting teens. Mark Gregston provides sound guidance. The “bite-size” podcasts are perfect for me for everyday listening, ~15 minutes. His approach encourages building relationships with one’s kids — easier said than done but worth it. By putting just some of his ideas into practice, our teen is responding by wanting to spend more time with us, talking to us, and accepting consequences for poor choices. There are no easy paths as parents but I believe Mark Gregston can help. I find this podcast encouraging and insightful.
