About this episode
In this episode, Mark and Wayne talk about the profound impact that tough parenting decisions can have on a family's future. Through personal stories — including Mark's life-saving decision for his daughter decades ago — they explore how setting boundaries, having hard conversations and trusting God's plan can rewrite the story for generations to come. Plus, a Heartlight teen opens up about his journey through rebellion, struggles with addiction and lessons learned at Heartlight. This episode is a powerful reminder that the choices we make with our teens today can echo far into the future.
