🧠💭 Did you know you can retrain your brain?

That’s not just something scientists are saying—it’s something God’s Word has said all along. Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” That means we don’t have to stay stuck in the same thoughts, habits, or emotions. With God’s help, we can learn to think differently, live differently, and experience real freedom.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, negative, or even just spiritually numb… this message is for YOU.

✨ Come out tonight to The Landing—a place for teens to be real, get encouraged, and find hope in Jesus. We’ll be talking all about how to renew your mind and refocus your heart.

🕖 Time: 6:30pm
📍Location: Lake City Church
💬 Bring a friend. You’re not alone. Let’s grow together.

Jesus changes everything—starting with our minds. 💡🙌

When teenagers gather in community settings—such as youth groups, school clubs, team sports, camps, or church groups (like the Landing)—there are several key statistics and trends that emerge. Check these out!

🔹 Social Connection & Belonging

79% of teens say they feel happier when they’re around their friends in person (Pew Research).

61% of teens say spending time in group settings improves their mental health (Common Sense Media).

Teens who regularly participate in youth programs or faith-based communities report higher levels of hope, confidence, and identity stability (Barna Group).

🔹 Mental Health & Group Influence

1 in 3 teens report feeling less anxious after spending time with peers in person (CDC Youth Risk Behavior Survey).

However, 28% of teens also report feeling pressured to fit in or act differently when in groups (Mental Health America).

Positive peer groups (e.g., sports, faith-based, volunteer work) correlate with a 25% lower rate of depression and 32% lower rate of substance use.

🔹 Faith-Based & Positive Programming Impact

Teens who attend faith-based youth groups weekly are:

2x more likely to volunteer in their community

30% less likely to report symptoms of anxiety and depression

More likely to report a sense of purpose and belonging

Mentorship in group settings (like youth groups or Celebrate Recovery for teens) is linked to greater emotional resilience and reduced behavioral issues.

🔹 Digital vs. In-Person Socialization

95% of teens use social media to stay connected, but:

Only 25% say online friendships feel as fulfilling as in-person ones.

Teens report higher trust, deeper conversations, and better mood after in-person meetups.

Screen-free social activities (like sports, small groups, or volunteering) lead to improved sleep, focus, and emotional regulation.

🙌After reading that, all I can say is: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?? Get involved, come out to the Landing Monday nights at 6:30pm, and get connected! We can't wait to see you this Monday! 🙌

I remember being a teenager and feeling as though NO ONE understood me and EVERYONE was against me... life can be so overwhelming as a teenager and it's so easy to isolate and believe the worst...it reminds me of the context behind Psalm 34. Here are the big things happening to David in the middle of writing this psalm:

🛑 Hunted by Saul.
😔 Misunderstood.
🕳️ Hiding in fear.

But even there, David worshiped.
He didn’t wait to feel safe. He chose to trust God in the middle of the storm.

✨ “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” — Psalm 34:8
Even in the dark, His goodness can still be experienced.

Let this be your reminder:
You can praise when your situation looks overwhelming.
You can trust before it all makes sense.
You can taste and see that the Lord is good—right now.

Every day, we get to choose what to wear — not just clothes, but attitudes, actions, and mindsets. Ms Kendall said this lesson reminded her of these "dress your character" sets!
Here's the thing, some days, it’s easier to throw on anger, bitterness, or insecurity — but those don’t fit who God says you are.
He’s got a better wardrobe for you. 🙌 come tonight and find out what that may look like for you!

My heart is full of anticipation to be with our group again tonight. I love Mondays because of YOU! We will see all of our teens tonight at 6:30 in the overflow!
