For decades, Dean Sikes has been sharing a radical message of hope: God loves you, has a plan for your life, and because you're breathing, you matter.

The conversation dives deep into the urgent teen mental health crisis. Dean shares shocking statistics—including that 22% of high schoolers have considered suicide—and discusses his mission to eradicate hopelessness and prevent teenage suicide.

Dean explains that a person who is "broken until healed becomes a broken adult". He shares insights from his new book, You Matter: Finding Hope and Meaning in Everyday Life, and how to:

1. Find a firm foundation of self-worth and confidence.
2. Break free from a spirit of hopelessness.
3. Connect with God's love and purpose, no matter your past.

This episode is a vital resource for parents, youth leaders, educators, and anyone who feels they are struggling or want to help a young person find their God-given value.
