Most Christian parents I know today feel a bit like pioneers.

Younger Generation X parents or older Millennial parents came of age in the 1990s, a decade of grunge fashion, MTV reality shows, and the birth of the World Wide Web.

Many of our parents didn’t know how to help us navigate the sexual messages rife in our culture—so they stayed silent.

Many Christian parents today know they can’t be silent. They have to speak about how to steward sexual urges and desires. But how?

If you have a child who is a tween or teen, you know their bodies are preparing them for adulthood (and with that, sex), but their minds are still struggling to be free from childish ways of thinking.

3 most common mistakes parents make…

1. Telling their pre-teens or teens not to think about sex. This is the exact opposite of what they should do.

2. Stressing only the power of sex, not its goodness. The Bible stresses both.

3. Emphasizing “purity,” which stresses the absence of sexual sin, but not talking about what to pursue instead.
