About this episode

This episode discusses the significance of graduating high school and how The Hills Church supports families in celebrating and blessing their graduating seniors.

Graduating high school is one of the most significant transitions in a young person's life. It marks the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood—new freedoms, new responsibilities, and new opportunities to follow Jesus. In this episode of the Milestones Podcast, we talk with WFW Student Minister Jackson Sanford about Senior Sending & Blessing, the milestone where The Hills Church comes alongside families to celebrate graduating seniors and commission them into their next season of life. This conversation explores why this milestone matters, how parents can intentionally disciple their student during this transition, and how the church partners with families to pray over, bless, and send seniors into the world as followers of Jesus. Whether your child is graduating this year or still years away, this episode will help you think about how to prepare students not just for college or careers—but for lifelong faith.
