* Talking to Your Kids About Sex

* God designed sex as a really good thing, and the world has perverted it.  It’s really important that we talk to our kids about God’s design for sex, so they learn from us rather than the world.  Someone will teach them!  In this podcast, I’m talking through several practical tips for how to talk to your kids about sex. I promise, you can survive it.


* Sex, Lies, and Motherhood

* A child’s first lessons about their bodies—everything from their appearance to what God says about human sexuality—come from their parents.  The messages we give them early in life have a deep, long-lasting impact on how they will see themselves as adults.  God has spoken life over each one of us when He created us, male and female, in His image. It’s powerful when we speak this as truth into the lives of our children.So where do we start? How do we pass on a godly perspective of sexuality and beauty to our kids? As in every other area of life, we start at the starting place: the Bible. We dare not trust human wisdom where these tender topics are concerned.  Listen in to this podcast and you’ll find encouragement for parents who are shepherding children in today’s changing culture.

Good morning everybody. This is Heidi St. John, welcome to the podcast.
I’m glad you are here today. Today is Mailbox Monday, and it’s the 21st of January – episode 717.
I’m going to tackle a topic today that I get asked about a lot and that is this:
How do we talk to our kids about sex ?
How do we talk to them about it? When do we talk to them about it? If you’re wondering how you should handle this topic, and I know a lot of you are – stick around, I think you’re going to be encouraged.
We just came back from a wonderful weekend at the conference in Abilene, Texas. Thank you to everybody who came out. It always encourages us when we see a generation of women in particular, stand up and say – we want to embrace what God says is important. We want to embrace God’s Word, God’s ways.
It’s amazing to me just what’s happening in the culture right now. I just want to encourage you, the way that we have been trying to encourage women around the country, to say: God’s commandments have been given to us for our protection. What’s happening in the culture right now.
