The Window Is Closing - Why the Next Three Years Matter More Than You Think

If your teen is in 8th or 9th grade, you have a small window of influence left—and it's closing faster than you think. In this episode, Deborah Myers reveals why the next three years are the most critical in your teen's development and what you need to do NOW to build a foundation that will hold. You'll discover the hidden struggles high-achieving Christian teens face, the three investments that matter most, and why waiting until later might be too late. Action Steps: 1. Have a conversation with your teen this week. Ask them: "What's the hardest thing about being a teenager right now?" Then just LISTEN. 2. Block out time on your calendar. Choose one day a week for the next month where you'll spend intentional, undistracted time with your teen. Make it non-negotiable. 3. Evaluate your teen's community. Who are the people surrounding them? Are they pointing your teen toward God or away from Him?
