The Legacy Dads are happy to welcome back author Laura Smith to discuss her new book “5 Minute Devotions for Teens: A guide to God and mental health.” Her book removes the stigma on mental health and advises Christian teens what they can do when they are depressed and anxious. Scattered throughout the book are tips to help teens maintain good mental health practices such as meditation, disconnecting from social media and technology, saying affirmations, and much more.
Each day includes a Scripture verse, short devotional, and a prayer or prompt.
This 100-day devotional will help teens 13 to 17 years old:
-deal with mental health issues, depression, and/or anxiety.
-re-enter normalcy after the COVID-19 pandemic.
-develop an authentic relationship with God and deepen their faith.
5-Minute Devotions for Teens is an affordable resource that can be read again and again.
You can find her new book anywhere books are sold. Learn more about Laura at her website: https://www.laurasmithauthor.com.
