What Teens Need from the Church (But Aren’t Getting)

February 25, 2025

How do we connect with today’s teenagers in a rapidly changing world? In this episode of Making Peace and Beyond, host Jamie Norton sits down with Valerie O’Brian, founder of Aspen, to discuss the challenges of engaging with the next generation. From youth ministry to parenting, they explore the questions young people are actually asking—about faith, pain, identity, and even dinosaurs—and how we, as adults, can better listen, love, and lead with authenticity. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or youth worker, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to build meaningful connections that point young people to the hope of Jesus.
