AMA: I’m a junior in high school, but only just turned 16, which means I’ll move out to start college when I’m 17, and I still don’t know where God wants me. I’ve prayed for guidance and trust, but I just don’t quite know how to get through high school with so much ungodly anxiety. 

I wanted to answer this question, because we are walking through this exact thing right now ourselves. I have a 17 year old daughter who is in her senior year of high school (grade 12) and a 15 year old son who is a junior (grade 11). 

To share a little bit about our story, my daughter started taking dual enrollment classes during her 11th grade year in high school. For those of you who don’t know what those are, that’s when you take college courses in high school, but they count both toward your high school courses and your college courses. She was sure she knew exactly what God wanted her to do in life. Fast forward to this year and she came to grips with the thought of…what if this isn’t what God wants me to do with my life? What if I’m wrong.

Girls, whew, this culture puts so much pressure on teens to have their whole life figured out. I feel like many times, we rush God’s plans, because of this pressure. It’s tough…you have only a short period of time to figure out your whole life when a lot of adults don’t even know what they want to do with their life.

Have you ever felt like God wasn't answering your prayers? Like, He's just not listening? 

I have had several of you girls write into me lately saying that you don't feel like God is answering your prayers and it's making you question your faith.

Today, we’re going to talk about Hannah. We can find her story in 1 Samuel chapter 1. Hannah walked through some pretty big challenges. She doesn't feel like God is answering her prayers, so she gives into the challenges, starts to let them take her down and then something happened. 

Check out this week's podcast episode to learn what Hannah did and what you can do to see real results with your prayers.

On this week’s Ask Me Anything Episode, Priscilla says, “I’m a homeschooler and I do all my school on my laptop, and I have a really hard time staying off other apps like YouTube. And no matter how hard I try and pray I just can’t seem to get over this. I want to live for God and do His will, but this is really hard to get over.”

Now, you may not be a homeschooler and you may not do school online, most of you are probably not even doing school right now, because you are on summer break, but I’m sure almost every single one of you can agree with me when I say that there are things that distract you from doing what you know you should be doing...either because we lack the motivation to do it or the willpower to do what we are supposed to do. 

I mean come on, how many times have your parents said, “I thought I asked you to do...fill in the blank…can you tell me why it’s not done?” Or something along those lines…maybe you’ve heard, “how many times do I have to ask you to…again fill in the blank.” I’m sure we’ve all been there at one time or another!

Or how many times have you told yourself, I am going to read my Bible when I first wake up and then this little rectangle object…and I’m not talking about your Bible…is so enticing you can’t help but grab it. You tell yourself; “I’m only going to check my messages. I’m only going to see if I have any notifications”…and then one hour, two hours, three hours go by and you have totally forgotten about and ditched your Bible. 

As I’ve said, we’ve all been there! A couple weeks ago, I woke up, got into my Bible, but got distracted and had to go back later to pray. Ugh…as Priscilla said, “No matter how hard I try and pray I just can’t seem to get over this. I want to live for God and do His will, but this is really hard to get over.” How do we overcome these distractions? Why are distractions so hard to overcome?

I want you to think about it this way, the enemy is constantly attacking our minds. If you are living for Jesus and the devil isn’t able to make you bad, his next trick up his sleeve is to get you distracted, because he knows if he can get you distracted, he will pull you away from God and then he will be able to make you bad. 

The whole point of distractions is to hold you back and pull you down. 

 
Check out this week's episode to learn how you can overcome distractions and temptations!

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!

I used to be so addicted to fear…yep…I said it. I was addicted to fear. I was addicted to horror movies…I couldn’t wait until the next one came out. I went to haunted houses. Now looking back, it’s crazy to me just how addicting fear really is. 

 It wasn’t until a couple years after I became a Christian that I had a conversation with another Christian about how I was going to watch the next horror movie that had come out and he looked at me…not in a judgmental way, but in a way that was just matter of fact. He said, “I don’t watch horror movies.” 

After I picked up my jaw off the floor because I was so surprised…ha-ha…I asked him why and I remember his response so clearly even to this day. He said, “I don’t understand why people intentionally invite fear into their lives when God tells not to fear.”

 That night changed my life! 

2 Timothy 1:7 says that “God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind.” 

 1 John 4:18 then goes onto tell us that there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out all fear, because fear involves torment. Whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

What is love? 

1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love. 

There is no fear in God, but God's perfect love casts out all fear!  

Fear is a liar! But fear is also very real. You may have heard of the acronym for fear that says, “False evidence appearing real.” That’s exactly what fear is. Fear is a tactic the enemy uses that is meant to paralyze us so that we are not effective in making a difference for Jesus.

Three of the biggest fears we face:

1. The fear of failure-
2. The fear of missing out
3. The fear of rejection

Check out this week's UncommonTEEN Podcast episode to learn how you can overcome fear for good!

Growing up, I saw myself as a reject. 

 That word reject means to throw away, as anything useless or disgusting. Something that is despised. To cast away or abandon. 

 My dad was very physically, mentally and verbally abusive toward me and my mom would leave for weeks at a time, leaving us to think that maybe this time she wasn’t coming back. It left me in a place where I felt unloved, unaccepted and rejected. 

 Each one of us are born with a God-shaped hole in our hearts. We can try to fill it with all kinds of different things, but the only thing that actually fills that hole is God. For me, try to fill it with…friends, school, music, boyfriends, but no matter what I tried, nothing could satisfy my heart until I met Jesus. 

 You may have heard me talk about this statistic before, but it is projected that only 4% of Gen Z is Bible believing Christians. Those who are between the ages of 10 and 25. So, if you think of the statistic, it looks like this…out of every 100 Gen Z’rs you see walking around in your city or your school, only 4 of them are projected to be Bible believing Christians. The average number of students in a public school in America is 500 students. If your school had 500 students, that means that only 20 of them are projected to be Bible believing Christians. That’s not a lot. 

According to another research that was recently done, that says 79% of Gen Zers reported feeling lonely. Ladies, this generation needs the hope that you have on the inside of you. Just because we see that statistic of 4% of your generation being Bible believing Christians, doesn’t mean that it has to stay that way! People need and want to know Jesus!

 Back in Jesus’ time Zacchaeus was considered to be the biggest reject of them all. Nobody liked him, because he was wicked to the core.

But even as a reject…there was something on the inside of him that was empty…that wanted more. 

 Zacchaeus was drawn to Jesus, because there was something different about Him. Jesus went out of His way to see Zacchaeus, the one person nobody wanted to see. Jesus went out of His way to let Zacchaeus know that God even loves Him…the one that everyone else rejected.

If God is good, why do bad things happen?
            
To answer this question, we have to first ask ourselves...is God really a good God?

My answer...without a shadow of a doubt, yes!! 

We can also see in the Bible, God's character...and let me tell you, He is good!

1 Chronicles 16:34 says, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!"

Psalm 145:9 says that the Lord is good to all!

James 1:17-Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 

He is good all the time! He doesn't change!

So, if God is good, then we have to ask ourselves the question...why do bad things happen?

Check out this week's episode to learn more about why bad things happen...why God doesn't stop them...and so much more!

What is beauty? What makes it so enticing? 

I mean, some people will do anything just to discover beauty: from surgeries, to endless video tutorials online, to spending money they don’t have shopping for clothes that they think will make them beautiful.

Is beauty defined by the culture or those around us?

Is beauty only skin deep, or does it go much deeper than that? 

If we are looking to outward appearances only, culture and media are usually the ones who decide what beauty is. Look around you…what do you see on tv shows? Movies? In magazines? 
What are the newest fashion trends? 

Without even saying it, they determine the way we view beauty. 

Why do we fall for it? 

Some of us want to express our artistic nature. 

Some of us want to stand out in a crowd and become the most beautiful person around. 

Some of us want to just fit in…we don’t want to stand out in a crowd. We want to feel like we belong, so we use fashion to cover up the fear of being an outcast.

In the day of technology, when we post pics on Instagram, we use filters and airbrushing to make ourselves look better. If you ever see a model in a magazine, you will see someone who looks so flawless, but that’s not reality. 

But what does God say about our beauty? Who does He say we are?

I forgive you…these can be some of the hardest words to say to someone, yet these three simple words are also some of the most powerful words that we could say…they have the ability to bring so much freedom into your life. 

 What is forgiveness…many times when we think of the word forgiveness, we associate it with our emotions and our feelings…how we feel about someone and what they did to us, but did you know that forgiveness has nothing to do with our feelings or our emotions? 

Forgiveness is a choice. It is extending grace to someone even when they don’t deserve it…and many times, they don’t deserve it.

 Grace is not getting what we deserve, but getting what Jesus deserves. 

 When we extend grace to someone, we are basically saying…what you did was wrong, but because Jesus has forgiven me, I will forgive you even though you don’t deserve it. 

 And this might help you…you don’t have to even like the person who you are forgiving. Just because you forgive someone, doesn’t mean that you have to enter back into a friendship or a relationship with that person. 

Unforgiveness doesn’t hurt the person that hurt you…it only hurts you.

 So, how do we forgive? What does that look like? Before we get into that, let’s see what Jesus says about forgiveness. 

Check out this week's episode of the UncommonTEEN Podcast to learn more about what it looks like to forgive.

 These week on the UncommonTEEN Podcast, we are talking about Breaking Free from Perfection. 

Many of us have the tendency to be perfectionistic. I know it's something that I struggled with my whole life and I talk to so many teen girls who struggle with it as well. 

Perfectionism can feel like it's suffocating us. It wears away your peace and robs you of joy. Perfectionism also keeps you from being the best version of you. 

When we focus so much on ourselves and the need to be perfect, we push God away and basically are saying that we don’t need Him, because we have this on our own.

Perfection leads to anxiety and frustration, but God wants you free.

Perfection leads you to feeling like you aren’t valuable or that you don’t measure up when you mess us. God tells us that we are valuable, not based on what we have or haven’t done, but based on what Jesus has done for us.

Perfectionism is rooted in fear.

Fear of rejection
Fear of acceptance
Fear of getting something wrong
Fear of someone seeing the real you

Check out this week's podcast episode to learn how you can break free from perfection!
