Raising Up Resilient Kids in a High-Pressure World

Season 16 | Episode 4

Caroline Samuelson, Joy Lopez, and Julie Mullins - June 29, 2026

In this week’s episode, Pastor Julie sits down with Christ Fellowship Student Pastors Caroline Samuelson and Joy Lopez for an honest conversation about the pressures we all face, and how God can use them to shape us rather than break us.

Episode Notes

Together, they unpack the unique pressures facing today’s generation, from comparison and performance to relationships, leadership, and the constant influence of social media. Caroline and Joy share personal stories about marriage, ministry, and learning to trust God through seasons of stretching, while offering practical encouragement for students, parents, and anyone feeling overwhelmed by the weight they’re carrying.

Whether you're a student navigating comparison, a parent wondering if you're doing enough, or someone carrying more than you feel equipped to handle, this episode will encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus, embrace the purpose He's given you, and remember that you are pressed, but not crushed.
