How do we talk about suicide as parents? How do we think about the growing prevalence of tween and teen suicide in our communities? Well, let’s start with a conversation.

 

Lilybeth Garcia says “Learn to talk to them about nothing and they’ll talk to you about something.” Jonathan interviews Lilibeth Vilella Garcia of Tiaras Girls. Lilibeth shares her experience of having lost identity and how finding Jesus changed everything. She gives very practical tips and advice on how to help prevent suicide in our teens and tweens in our families and communities.


Walking through life’s peaks and valleys requires a kind of honesty that’s often hard to find. The Journey with Jonathan Pitts offers just that-a space where the complexities of faith, parenting, and personal loss are met with genuine conversation. Co-hosted by Jonathan Pitts and Christian Parenting, this podcast delves into the raw, real stories that shape a family’s spiritual life, moving beyond simple answers to explore how we actually live out our beliefs day to day. You’ll hear Jonathan’s own experiences with love and grief, shared with a vulnerability that feels both rare and refreshing. These conversations are grounded in a Christian perspective, making them particularly meaningful for parents navigating the challenges of raising kids with intentional faith. Each episode feels like a thoughtful dialogue, aiming to provide companionship and practical insight for your own path. Whether you’re in a season of celebration or one of deep questioning, tuning into this podcast means finding a voice that understands the weight of both. It’s about making sense of the everyday journey, with all its setbacks and grace, together.
