Veteran youth pastor Danny Kwon joins Matt Hedinger and Mikey Puckett to reflect on 29 years in youth ministry, what it takes to stay faithful long-term, and his new book.

The conversation explores mental health in teenagers, the role of the church in crisis care, and how gospel hope and practical wisdom come together in real ministry settings. Danny and his wife, Monica (a trained counselor and psychologist) co-authored, Teenagers and Mental Health: A Resource for Parents, Pastors, and Youth Leaders. He shares insight from this new book on navigating challenges with students and partnering with families and counselors.

This week's episode is a grounded, honest, and encouraging look at youth ministry, mental health, and endurance in ministry.
