The Sacred Work of Growing Up

We are thrilled to welcome Michelle Icard, nationally recognized author, speaker, and educator, to Faith Forum. With over 20 years of experience working with middle schoolers, parents, and teachers, Michelle brings deep insight and practical wisdom on how to navigate the complex world of adolescence with grace, humor, and clarity. We will explore themes from her books, including Middle School Makeover (2014), Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen (2021), and 8 Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success (2023), with guidance on how faith, connection, and conversation can shape the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of our families. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, educator, or simply someone who cares about young people, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Hosted by The Reverend Joshua Case.
