In this insightful episode of The Cross and The Classroom, host Ashley Loaiza sits down with David Milton, a seasoned counselor and former Spanish teacher at Valor Christian. Together, they dive deep into the evolving landscape of mental health for today’s teenagers, discussing not only the unique pressures students face navigating both real and virtual worlds, but also the vital role of faith, family, school, and community in supporting young people.
David shares thought-provoking reflections on how the pressures of social media and the search for identity have created new challenges for today’s youth, challenges that previous generations never encountered. The conversation offers practical ways parents, educators, and the church can create a strong biblical foundation for students and foster environments where young people feel truly seen and supported.
Interesting Fact:
One particularly interesting point discussed is how today’s teens are essentially living “two lives” at once—one in person and one online—and that both students and parents are having to “make it up as they go” since previous generations never had to navigate a 24/7 digital presence.
Join Ashley and David for an encouraging, authentic look at how we can walk alongside the next generation with patience, wisdom, and hope.
