In this episode, I sit down with Kavin Carter, a dynamic leader making a lasting impact in the lives of teens and families through faith, mentorship, and youth ministry. With over 11 years of experience, Kavin currently serves as the High School Ministries Director and Pastor at Community Presbyterian Church in Danville, CA. Originally from Los Angeles, Kavin brings deep insight, compassion, and leadership to his mission of helping students develop biblical literacy, build authentic community, and live out their Christian faith in today’s complex world.

We explore how faith can guide teens through life’s challenges, why mentorship is critical for youth development, and the importance of leadership and spiritual growth for the next generation. Kavin also shares about his work as a writer, curriculum developer, and co-author of several impactful Bible devotionals.

This is a must-listen conversation for parents, educators, church leaders, and anyone passionate about raising resilient, faith-rooted young people with a strong sense of identity and mission.
