20 - Teen Mission Trips, Depressed Daughters, and Modesty in Church

How do you discern whether a teen’s short-term missions trip is genuine service or just expensive adventure? How should parents respond when a 14-year-old daughter is sad, anxious, and wrestling with her identity? And what do you do when another family’s teenage girls are dressing immodestly at church week after week? Israel and Brook offer biblical categories, practical questions to ask, and wise next steps, helping parents walk by faith as they weigh risk, pursue heart-level discipleship, and engage their church leaders with humility and grace.

Biblical parenting is hard—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Each week, Raising Them Up tackles real-life parenting questions with biblical wisdom, practical help, and gospel hope. From screen time and sibling conflict to discipleship, marriage, and homeschooling, hosts Israel and Brook Wayne bring decades of parenting experience and a deep love for God’s Word to your everyday challenges.
Short, honest, and full of grace—this is Christian parenting help you can trust.
