Episode 98: Talking Sexuality with Our Kids

This is another one of those episodes seeking to answer questions we receive often:

At what age do we start talking with our kids about sexuality?
How do we do it, exactly?
What about gender stuff?
How do we help alleviate some of the blurring of the lines that is going on with gender these days–without holding onto stereotypes?

Who better to help us out than author and teacher, Dannah Gresh? She has been in the ministry of educating young people regarding sexuality for many years. (And if you think she is speaking old-school purity movement stuff, think again. This woman is on fire, and is ready to preach the holistic good news of the gospel for our sexuality in 2019, 2020 and beyond.)

Let’s dive in again to this critical conversation with grace, truth, and love.

Highlights:
“Marriage and sex is a picture of the gospel. It tells us that story from Genesis to Revelation. … How motivated do you think Satan is to see that destroyed in your life … [and] destroyed in our children’s lives?” –Dannah Gresh

“Our worldview is established by our 13th or 14th birthday. If you wait until then to talk to kids about sex? Woah. You have missed the boat. Meanwhile, their ears have been hearing all of these other sexual messages, and your silence has just become a megaphone to the world’s lies.”
–Dannah Gresh

“In the Bible there is not one place *ever* where the formal education of moral belief is ever assigned to anyone but parents … You cannot phone this thing in. Moral development is assigned to you.” –Dannah Gresh
