Kristen Jenson at defendyoungminds.com wrote an article entitled, Today's Porn Industry: Five Things Every Parent Needs to Know. Parents, as you engage in continued conversations with your kids about the dangers and sinful nature of this horribly broken and addicting expression of God's good gift of sexuality, keep in mind these warnings from Jenson. First, the porn industry is complicit with the sex trafficking of minors, rape, and pedophilia. Porn has become synonymous with sex crimes. Second, the pornography industry makes hard-core pornography available for free. If it doesn't find your kids, your kids will find it. Third, pornography normalizes incest, racism, and violence to women. Fourth, the porn industry is a mainstream big corporate business. Yes, computer scientists, lawyers accountants, and HR execs are all a part of the scheme. And finally, the porn industry is doing all they can to deny the truth, to disinform, and to defame their critics. Parents, protect your kids from pornography.

Get the show notes here: https://lauriechristine.com/how-to-talk-to-your-kids-about-pornography/Pornography. It's not a fun topic to discuss, but it's a very important conversation to have with our boys. (And not just an isolated discussion, but an ongoing conversation!)The average age that kids are exposed to pornography is between the ages of 8-10. It's literally everywhere. Especially when younger and younger kids have unlimited access to cell phones, ipads, and other devices. Even if you've been super careful to limit your child's internet access, chances are they have a friend at school, on the bus, in the neighborhood and yes, even at church, who might expose them to pornography. Pornography is a world-wide pandemic that has been normalized by our society. I don't think many Christians truly realize the danger of pornography. This is a quote that I found from an article on NPR that I think describes this pandemic very well: “Imagine a drug so powerful it can destroy a family simply by distorting a man's perception of his wife. Picture an addiction so lethal it has the potential to render an entire generation incapable of forming lasting marriages and so widespread that it produces more annual revenue … than all of the leading technology companies combined.”So, what can we do about this drug that is destroying the very foundation of our society? How can we protect our children and teach them to value God's design for marriage? We have a special guest on the show to help us answer these questions. Kristen Jenson is the founder of Defend Young Minds and the #1 bestselling author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, a read-aloud book to teach young children how to reject pornography. Her trusted resources and content, including the Brain Defense Digital Safety curriculum, have helped millions all over the world to defend children from all forms of sexual exploitation.

This week on the Exodus Cry Podcast, we are joined by Defend Young Minds founder Kristen Jenson to discuss protecting children from porn in the digital age. Kristen is the acclaimed author of Good Pictures Bad Pictures, a digital safety expert, and the CEO of Glen Cove Press. In 2011, Kristen found out her friend's oldest son had sexually abused their younger children using pornography. Distraught, Kristen felt compelled to search online for resources to warn her friend's younger children about the dangers of viewing pornography but could not find anything. She set out to create resources for parents to address pornography exposure and consumption. As she began researching and talking to parents, she realized the need was even greater. Kristen began blogging about all she was learning, and it was out of this that Defend Young Minds was born.

In our first episode of our third season, we tackle a very difficult subject that is impacting our children and families in a horrible way, Pornography. It is reaching into homes that you would never expect. As a matter of fact, Common Sense Media (https://www.commonsensemedia.org/press-releases/new-report-reveals-truths-about-how-teens-engage-with-pornography) just did a very scientific poll and found that 73% of American teens have consumed pornography and on average, their exposure to pornography began when they were just 12 years old and and even younger. Our guest, Kristen Jenson of Defending Young Minds, is the strongest voice that we could find in this fight against Pornography's influence. She is an expert on this issue, but she is all about raising resilient, empowered screen smart kids who know how and why to reject pornography.

Tech management has become a role that all parents have had to take on these days with phones, tablets, ipads, chromebooks and more. It is the number one topic that parents share they want help and support with and we are lucky to speak with expert Sarah Kimmel, founder and owner of Family Tech. Our goal for this conversation was to learn about parental controls and the best way to introduce technology… and unintentionally became a coaching session for Chrissie as the tech use in her family got away from her this past summer. We discuss all of Chrissie's tech fails and how to get back on track–Roblox and PCs and Discord, oh my! Sarah also shares how to set limits around screen time, the magic of turning off the internet (and how to do it so YOU still have internet), and a sensible order to introduce tech devices to your kids leading up to their own phone in the end. Sarah's outlook on how to invite tech into your home and manage it with your kids is balanced and approachable–and Chrissie vows to do everything she says. Join us! PS–There will be an episode coming up where Chrissie shares what happened when she followed Sarah's advice and reeled in the tech use in her house with her kids. Keep an eye out for this episode coming soon! Things we mentioned in this episode: Sarah spoke with author Kristen Jenson about how to talk to your kids about pornography They discussed that most kids will be exposed to porn online and recommends Kristen's book Good Pictures, Bad Pictures to help prepare your kids for images that may come up Tech contract is available from Sarah if you sign up for her newsletter–it is on the right side of screen Sarah Kimmel is a family tech expert and digital parenting coach and is the founder of Family Tech, LLC, a company to help families understand and manage the technology and devices in their homes.

Author of the hugely successful book "Good Pictures, Bad Pictures" Kristen Jenson joins me to have a discussion about talking to your kids about pornography. Unfortunately, it is not a question of "if" your child will come across porn as they are navigating the online world, it is a question of when. Kristen has some great thoughts and ideas on how to make the digital world a little safer, and how to prepare kids with a plan of action for when they encounter explicit content.
Here's a topic that has not been covered on this show, but I want to cover it because it's not only important to the health of our own minds, but to the world around us.The amounts spent on pornography in just the United States is staggering, and no one is immune from the risk. It's more accessible than ever before; and the barriers of shame that once existed have been lifted. Perhaps the most vulnerable to the dangers of porn are the children, who simply have not developed morally to even understand what addiction is, let alone take action once it has occurred.Kristen Jenson has provided an incredibly valuable service with two easy to read books that describe the nature of porn, how to recognize it, and how to make a plan of action on how to avoid its destructive nature and enjoy sex as we were created to!Here's a bit of what you'll hear in today's episode:-Porn is all too often the #1 perpetrator of molestation among youth...06:00-Definition, warning, plan: ways we can teach children to reject pornography...10:00-How to know if your child might be exposed to porn...16:30-The physical and spiritual repercussions of children and adults being exposed to porn...24:00-Challenges parents face when confronting the porn issue with their kids...32:38-We implore you to take matters into your own hands when it comes to porn...37:30-Rejecting porn alerts young people to rejecting potential sexual abuse...39:30-And more...Resources mentioned:Defend Young MindsGood Pictures, Bad PicturesConnect with today's guest!Kristen A.

As much as I wish this wasn't the case, we are raising our children in a sin-cursed, broken world. Satan wants nothing more than to sit on the throne of our children's hearts and minds and keep them in bondage to sin. One of the ways he is accomplishing this at epidemic rates is through pornography. The question is not if our children will be exposed, it is when. The average age of exposure to pornography is 8 years old. We MUST acknowledge this reality and equip our children so they will not fall prey to this snare. How do we equip our children, yet be delicate with their childhood innocence? I seek to give advice that I have gleaned from God's Word, other biblical resources, statics, and scientific data. Mamas, it's time to rise up, be gatekeepers of our homes, pray for the our children's minds, and protect the next generation from Satan's weapon of pornography.

My guest this week is Kristen Jenson In this episode, Kristen and I discuss a sensitive but really important topic of pornography, as it relates to our children's safety and wellness. As the amount of screentime has dramatically increased across all ages over the last few years, exposure to pornography is pretty common. Uncomfortable or difficult as it may be to talk about pornography with your children, it's our responsibility as parents to set aside our own discomfort around the topic, so that we can be an accurate and healthy source of information and be a support for them. Kristen and I discuss all aspects of the inevitable exposure to pornography, inappropriate images and videos, and digital safety. We talk about the common questions of, “How do I address this with my child?”, “When do I address it?”, “How to keep my child as safe as possible?”, and so much more. Kristen Jenson is the founder of Defend Young Minds, and a number one best selling author of the Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, a series of read aloud books. They've been translated into 10 languages and are now augmented by a guidebook for professionals that helps child therapists and educators. She's also the executive producer of the Brain Defense Digital Safety Curriculum, a powerful and engaging video-based course for families and educators. Kristen is a positive voice for raising empowered, resilient screen-smart kids who know how and why to reject pornography. She instills hope and confidence, and leaves her audience with pragmatic advice they can act on immediately.
