Porn is targeting your kids—and most parents don't realize how early it starts. Research shows the average age of first exposure is just 11–13, with some kids seeing it as young as 9.

The focus of today's podcast is the imperative nature of fostering conversations surrounding sexual integrity between parents and their children. In our dialogue with Jim Burns, we discuss the complexities and challenges that often accompany these dialogues, particularly in a cultural environment where exposure to pornography is alarmingly prevalent among youth. Jim shares how parents can engage in meaningful discussions that are both biblically grounded and devoid of discomfort, providing practical strategies to facilitate these vital conversations. Through sharing compelling statistics and personal anecdotes, he emphasizes the importance of early and continuous dialogue regarding sexuality, thereby equipping parents to navigate this often awkward terrain with their children. We are reminded that the responsibility to impart knowledge and values in the realm of sexuality rests significantly upon the shoulders of parents, who must strive to create an environment where such discussions can thrive.Takeaways: This podcast episode emphasizes the necessity for parents to engage in discussions about sexual integrity with their children at an early age, as exposure to pornography begins as young as ten years old. Jim Burns elucidates the importance of leading conversations about sexuality with love and kindness, while maintaining a biblical perspective that respects both the child's dignity and God's design. The hosts highlight the idea that frequent, short conversations about sexuality are more effective than infrequent, lengthy discussions, advocating for ongoing dialogue as children grow. Statistics shared during the episode reveal alarming rates of pornography exposure among youth, underscoring the urgency for parents to provide guidance and education. Listeners are encouraged to approach the topic of sexual integrity without shame, focusing instead on fostering a safe environment for open communication with their children. The discussion touches upon the cultural shifts regarding sexuality and identity, stressing the importance of parents being informed and proactive in guiding their children through these complexities.

When you talk with your kids about sex matters.

When Joanna was in fifth grade, her teacher passed out a pamphlet to everyone in the class. On that pamphlet were all kinds of topics about puberty and sex, and it had a phone number that you could call to listen to pre-recorded information on every subject. In all honesty, there were lots of terms and phrases on that pamphlet that she had never heard of before!This led to Joanna's mom giving her “The Talk.” If you remember back to your own "talk", your parents may have been open, honest, and informative; or maybe they felt awkward, and you walked away with more questions than answers. Now that you are a parent, you may be wishing for some sort of manual or coach to lead the way as you prepare to broach this topic with your own children.That's why we are so happy to welcome back Jim Burns to the show. Jim is the president of HomeWord, an amazing ministry that equips parents to build God-honoring families for generations.

Join us for an insightful chat with Jim Burns, founder of Homeward and author of A Student's Guide to Sexual Integrity: God's Plan for Sex and Your Body. Jim shares his wisdom on discussing sexual integrity from a Christian perspective, offering guidance for parents and grandparents to support young people in navigating sexuality with faith and moral clarity. We tackle the challenges of talking to teens about sexuality, and Jim offers practical, do-able advice: frequent, brief conversations at home, starting early (though it's never too late!). This approach helps normalize these discussions, making parents trusted sources on sensitive topics. Jim also highlights the important role grandparents can play, offering a safe, approachable presence for kids facing tough questions. I'm giving away a copy of Jim's new book.
