Teens are more connected than ever, and yet anxiety, distraction, and joylessness are rising. In this episode of Bold Faith Now, Missy Eversole talks with longtime youth ministry leader Dr. Dave Rahn, co-author with Ebonie Davis, of Grit and Joy: Help for Bewildered Families of Teens, about what's really happening to teens in a digitally anxious world—and how parents and leaders can help. In this conversation, they discuss: Why teens struggle with phone addiction and anxiety What \"nomophobia\" reveals about fear and attachment How social media shapes identity and undermines joy Why biblical grit and Sabbath rhythms matter If you love a teen or serve the next generation, this conversation offers hope, clarity, and practical wisdom rooted in Christ.
