Episode Description

Do you sometimes struggle to know when to stand firm as a parent and when to give your teenager the freedom to make their own decisions? Would you like to learn how to guide and influence your teenager in ways that reach their heart instead of just laying down rules? Join Ginger Hubbard and Alex Cody as they discuss the importance of making sure you’re fighting on the right battlefield and how to shepherd the hearts of your teens when you disagree with their choices.
