Episode Synopsis

Peer pressure isn’t just a middle school problem — it’s everywhere. From TikTok trends to friend group expectations to the way you talk or dress, the pressure to “fit in” is real. But as followers of Jesus, we’re called to live differently.In this episode of Growing Up Kingdom, we dive into what peer pressure actually looks like today, why it’s so powerful, and how you can stand strong without caving in. Sometimes it’s not about a big dramatic moment — sometimes standing firm is just saying a quiet no or choosing to walk away when a conversation turns toxic.We’ll walk through 3 practical steps you can use in the moment to stay grounded, along with biblical wisdom from Galatians 1:10. And here’s the good news: you don’t stand alone. Jesus already faced the pressure and didn’t cave — and now He offers you the strength to do the same.
