Any parent who’s raised a teenager has likely faced an emotional meltdown that seemed to come out of nowhere, and been left scratching their head trying to understand it. This week on The Redeemed Man podcast, pastor and mental health advocate Will Hutcherson joins us to shed light on the mental health struggles facing today’s teens. Drawing from extensive research, Will breaks down the science behind teenage angst in a way that’s both practical and relatable, equipping dads with tools to better understand and connect with their kids. In a world dominated by high tech and high stress, Will reminds us that what today’s teenagers need most is to feel seen, and that offering validation doesn’t mean you’re raising your kids to be “soft.” You’re raising them to be secure and resilient.

When we don’t have an identity or a plan, Ro Remedios says, we’re just “spitballing” life from one day to the next – drifting from vulnerable whims to reckless impulses.
