How to Support the Graduates in Your Life

May 8, 2025

Graduation season is here, and with it comes celebration, emotion, and a whole lot of pressure. This week on Trending, Matt and Pastor Joe talk about how to support the graduates in our lives—not just with cards and gifts, but with presence, encouragement, and grace.


They explore the messy middle between childhood and adulthood, why modern graduates often feel unprepared, and how faith communities can walk with them through that uncertainty. From ancient rites of passage to examples from the Bible, Matt and Joe offer honest reflections and practical wisdom for anyone walking through this season of transition.
