To Parents, Grandparents, and Influential Adults

There is no one better positioned to mentor a teenager than the adults already in their life.

In this episode, Brian and Lauren are joined by Matt Brinkley, founder and associate director of PACT Ministry, to talk about his new book MentorMe and what it really looks like to invest in the next generation.

With over 50 years of experience in youth ministry, Matt brings both wisdom and practical insight into how parents, grandparents, and other influential adults can move beyond surface-level conversations and build meaningful relationships with the teens in their lives.

They discuss how to connect in a way that goes deeper than one-word answers, why intentional mentorship matters now more than ever, and how everyday moments can become opportunities for real discipleship.

This is a thoughtful and encouraging conversation for anyone who wants to have a lasting impact on the young people around them.
