From The Mount: S2 Ep73 - Teen Relationships, Dating, and Healthy Boundaries

In this episode of From The Mount, we continue our Taboo Series with a conversation many parents want to have—but often don't know how to begin. Joined by special guest Mo Isom Aiken, we discuss teen dating, emotional boundaries, and what it looks like to help students pursue healthy, Christ-centered relationships in today's culture. This episode goes beyond simply talking about physical boundaries and addresses the importance of emotional health, wisdom, identity, and discernment in dating relationships. We share practical encouragement for parents navigating conversations with elementary, middle school, and high school students, offering helpful strategies for creating open dialogue without shame, fear, or overreaction. We also discuss warning signs of unhealthy relationships, how to teach emotional boundaries biblically, and why helping students build their identity in Christ matters more than simply managing behavior.

From The Mount: S2 Ep72 - Who Am I Really?

In this episode of From The Mount, and our third episode of our Taboo series, we dive into one of the biggest questions students and adults alike wrestle with: Who am I really? In this honest and hope-filled conversation, we sit down with Mo Isom Aiken to talk about identity, comparison, performance, and the freedom that comes from finding our worth in Christ rather than in achievements, appearance, relationships, or social media. Together, we discuss the pressures students face today, the dangers of building identity on unstable foundations, and what Scripture says about being fully known and fully loved by God. We share practical information on how to have an honest conversation with our kids at every age level.

Joined by special guest Mo Isom Aiken, we discuss the realities students are facing, why these conversations matter more than ever, and how parents can respond with both truth and grace. Together, we explore God's design for sexuality, the impact pornography can have on identity and relationships, and how families can create safe spaces for honesty, healing, and discipleship. This episode is not about fear or shame—it's about pointing students toward freedom, redemption, and heart transformation through Christ. Whether you are parenting elementary students, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this conversation will equip and encourage you with practical ways to lead intentional, ongoing conversations in your home.
