Episode Details

Risky behavior is often more than just "acting out." For many teens, it’s a desperate attempt to fill an inner void or prove themselves to their peers. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two young men from Heartlight who share their journeys through confusion, addiction and broken trust. They reveal how struggles with perfectionism and feeling "not enough" led them toward unhealthy choices, and how their time at Heartlight helped them confront the real roots of their pain. Tune in to discover how these young men are learning to value themselves and rebuild meaningful relationships.
