Teen with trauma & foster care*


A: Any podcast recommendations for a teen who has had a traumatic family life in and out of foster care?


The teen is 17 and has a lot of relationship troubles, drama in any friend circle she is involved in, has a hard time accepting authority from anyone especially males. She also never wants to take responsibility for any of her mistakes/sins and accept the consequences, instead she try’s to manipulate me by saying how hard of a life she had and any excuse she can think of. I try to set good examples and I have had her read a couple books (when she lived with me a few years ago). I don’t think I could get her to actually read a book, so was hoping to get her listening to a good gospel centered podcast that maybe touch bases on any of the issues I mentioned above. I know she needs counseling and she has it through the alternative school she is in, but she says it doesn’t help at all and I honestly don’t know of any good biblical counselors in our area.


A: Transformed with Dr Greg Gifford comes to mind. It’s like an introduction to key principles in biblical counseling. Very convicting. (Podcast)


Some of the episodes that might be especially relevant are the conflict resolution series, the ones about uprooting anger, and the ones from January & February (they are all about communication). 


You can also find professional biblical counselors here  


Other podcasts found will be added later. 

Books and audio books will be addded.

Fornication led to pregnancy

Q: Recently I sinned by fornicating again. I did ask forgiveness from God for being unfaithful again. I thought God had forgiven me (& I’m no longer participating in such activities). I had just repented and made the effort to turn from evil, but...just found out I’m pregnant. It was one brief moment!! Really and truly I cannot believe I’ve went backwards like that and my life feels ruined. I don't understand. Did God truly forgive me? Should I stop praying, because I knew better but I didn’t do better. I said yes to my flesh and now it’s costing me. I’m willing to lose everything else, but to lose Jesus because of my sin - I really cannot bare the thought. A: You dont stop praying because things dont go your way. Prayer is to align you to God's will, (not for him to act as a genie who does what you want). You becoming pregnant wasn't a punishment from God; it was basic natural outcomes of happens when humans have sex. You know Scripture teaches sex was designed only ...
