The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday

The Seacoast Podcast: Things You Won't Hear On Sunday captures meaningful – and often challenging -- conversations that happen off the stage amongst the people of Seacoast. Hang with us and guests we love to learn from, including authors, artists, pastors, and many others who share their stories of struggle and oftentimes, how God's grace brought about peace and redemption. We hope listening in to our discussions revolving around church, theology, and culture will feel like slowing down and hanging with friends. You'll be encouraged, laugh, find solidarity with someone else's story, or see things from a new point of view. What if listening to other perspectives was the first step in loving people with a different point of view? We're giving it a shot.

43 - Kids’ Mental Health in Today’s Culture (w/ Toby Slough) [Mental Health Awareness May]

May 22, 2023 • Seacoast Church

For the month of May, we'll be discussing all things mental health related. Although the stigma of mental illness is dwindling some, there is still work to be done. For those who suffer, you are not alone. Our prayer is that you find comfort by hearing these stories and discussions, even if it's just a little bit. For those who do not struggle, our prayer is that through these episodes, you will have more understanding; and this would lead you to more compassion and grace for all who do.

The cultural trends are alarming, sobering statistics on a young generation growing up in a challenging world that is rapidly changing, especially in the advancement of technology and the prevalence of social media. Author and speaker, Toby Slough, travels and speaks to parents, many who are trying their best but haven’t the clarity of what’s healthy, harmful, or beneficial for their kids amidst all these rapid changes.
Given the current climate, kids’ brains are literally developing differently than any generation due to the quick accessibility to information and an ability to connect with peers any second of any day, on their phones.

You'll hear some practical advice on raising kids in this "smart phone and social media" generation. How is this generation of parents doing in comparison to generations past? How can one process past, parenting mistakes?

Helping kids and parents, Toby Slough can empathize with the mental health struggles that are impacting everyone, including so many youngsters. He faced a mental health crisis himself, learned perseverance and wants to help others learn the same.
