This week’s episode brings something deeply relevant and eye-opening to the table. Sgt. Q and cohost Doc Jess sit down with Autumn and Liberty to talk about what it really means to grow up in today’s digital world, a generation shaped by TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, and constant online pressure.

They open up about the pressures young girls face online, how social media affects confidence, friendships, and mental health, and why building real-life resilience matters now more than ever. Sgt. Q and Doc Jess guide them through stories of learning to push through fear, getting back up after setbacks, and choosing discipline over instant dopamine, the kind that social media gives too easily.

The role of faith at home and how God is shaping their character in an age of constant digital noise has been given to light. Through simple, everyday moments, riding a bike, facing something scary, or stepping outside their comfort zone, the girls show how resilience, identity, and emotional strength are built long before a screen ever enters the picture.

🎧 Tune in to hear a heartfelt, timely conversation about faith, real resilience, and what it takes to raise strong, grounded kids in a digital generation that desperately needs it.
