Few subjects present a greater challenge for parents than teaching children about God's design for their identity. How do we start these vital conversations without overwhelming our little ones or feeding them information beyond their comprehension? Catherine's guest, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, has developed a curriculum that helps parents navigate these challenging waters. Elizabeth is the founder of Foundation Worldview, an organization committed to providing Christian parents, educators, and church leaders with the resources they need to teach children to think critically and biblically. In this enlightening discussion, Elizabeth introduces her new curriculum aimed at kids ages 4-8 called "God's Good Design." This episode emphasizes: 1. The Importance of Being the First: Introducing children to these topics early helps parents establish authority and provide a biblical perspective. 2. Maintaining Innocence While Informing: Teaching children about God's good design protects their innocence by providing them with the truth before encountering corrupted versions of identity. 3. Living in Truth while Loving Others: Both Catherine and Elizabeth emphasize the need to always love those who disagree while we teach our kids God's truth about their identity. 4. Resources for Parents and Educators: Foundation Worldview's curriculum and other recommended resources for guiding children and teens in sexuality education from a Christian perspective are highlighted. Listeners are invited to access these Foundation Worldview resources with a special $10 discount on family licenses using the code PARENT10. About the Guest Elizabeth Urbanowicz holds a B.S. from Gordon College in Elementary Education and Spanish, an M.S.Ed. from Northern Illinois University in Literacy Education, and an M.A. in Christian Apologetics from Biola University. Elizabeth created Foundation Worldview to equip Christian parents with the resources they need to train children to soundly interpret Scripture, carefully evaluate every idea they encounter, and understand the truth of the biblical worldview.

When it comes to ensuring the spiritual well-being of our children, how do we go beyond just “raising them in church”? As the next generation navigates unprecedented issues surrounding gender identity, doubt, and resistance to the Christian faith—it won't be enough for them to have “the faith of their parents.” How do we equip them to become disciples of Jesus Christ in a hostile world?According to Barna and USA Today, nearly 59% of youth leave the church after graduation, and only 17% maintain a Biblical worldview. According to a Lifeway survey, youth are moving to college, witnessing hypocrisy within the church, and no longer feeling connected to the body of Christ.This week, Jonathan welcomes Hillary Morgan Ferrer to Candid Conversations. Her passion is to help equip parents to answer the questions that our children will inevitably ask and teach them how to “demolish arguments raised against the knowledge of God” (2 Cor 10:5). She is the founder and Mama-Bear-in-Chief of Mama Bear Apologetics and she has a burden to help provide accessible apologetics resources for busy parents. Together, Jonathan and Hillary discuss how we can better equip children and parents with resources and critical thinking skills, including her own methodology called “ROAR,” to help families recognize unbiblical ideas and develop discernment.Hillary is the chief author and editor of the bestselling book Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies and Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: Empowering Your Kids to Understand and Live Out God's Design.

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.

Culture is giving our children's so many mixed messages when it comes to the topic of sex. It is not a matter of if they will hear these confused ideals, but when. And that age of introduction is getting younger all the time. As Christian parents, we need to be the loving authority who are the first to speak to our children about this topic so that we can give them a biblical view of sex. Sex was God's design. All things that He created He called good. In this episode, I discuss... -getting your family message of sex from the Bible -teaching your children what the word "private" means -the importance of using anatomical terms and how that protects our children -using the "drip method" to build the conversation -teaching beauty and boundaries Scriptures Referenced: Hebrews 13:4 Genesis 2:24 Jeremiah 8:12 Resources: Birds & Bees https://birds-bees.com/ (use code BRETTNAY to save 20%) Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: https://amzn.to/3Lxasxh Follow my journey by subscribing to this podcast.

Hillary Morgan Ferrer is the founder and Mama-Bear-in-Chief of Mama Bear Apologetics. She is the chief author and editor of the bestselling Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies and Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: Empowering Your Kids to Understand and Live Out God's Design. Hillary has her master's degree in biology from Clemson University and a master's degree in apologetics from Biola University. Today she shares how she was led to a deeper understanding of God and inclined to worship during her master's in biology. She explains how as she studied cell biology, she was given example after example of how the physical attributes of our body point us to God and the spiritual realm. Her teachings and writings have inspired thousands of people to understand and experience how physical things continue to point us to the spiritual. She explains that if the physical points us to the spiritual, then gender and marriage have new meanings and purposes. She teaches that our bodies are the language of God's mystery, a roadmap guiding us into deeper intimacy with the Divine. One of our favorite moments in this recording was understanding how sex has been so perverted in our culture, distorting our view and understanding of God. One of the amazing questions Charity asked is, "What does it look like for us to celebrate our kid's sexuality, guide them in what is appropriate but avoid shaming them for things that they have done wrong?" Hillary takes the question and adds a new perspective on how gratitude and humility play a huge part in leading our kids in their sexuality. We too often avoid choosing gratitude and showing mercy because of our own brokenness and pride. If we can teach our kids to be self-aware through our own example of awareness, our children can choose Christ instead of merely abstaining from sin out of unhealthy motives. The challenge is: "Are we being then Deputy Holy Spirit to our kids and leading with shame? Or are we leading with an example of humility and gratitude?"Hillary Morgan and Mama Bear Apologetics:https://mamabearapologetics.com/https://www.instagram.com/mamabearapologetics/Our Resources:https://www.instagram.com/restored2more/https://restored2more.com/https://restored2more.com/courses/
It's important for parents to talk with their kids about sex, but it's a lot more difficult to do now than it used to be. Terminology related to sexuality, gender and orientation seems to change almost daily. My guest on this episode helps us cut through the confusion and point us and our kids back to the simple truth of God's plan for sexuality. Hillary Morgan Ferrer is founder of Mama Bear Apologetics and she minsters to moms by doing the research they don't have time to do on tough subjects like this. We're bombarded by dangerous lies and ideas about sexuality, everywhere from the media to schools and even some churches. Hillary's and my discussion can empower you to confidently respond to those messages with grace and truth.

If you are a regular listener, you may have heard the first part of my conversation last week with apologist and author Hillary Morgan Ferrer. Hilary is the founder of Mama Bear Apologetics, a valuable resource for training ourselves and our children to think critically, love biblically, and stand firm against the cultural tide. Last week, we talked about equipping our children to defend their faith and not be lured away by a culture that tries so hard to destroy it. This week we dive deeper into the topics of pluralism, tolerance, secular word definition, sexuality, and balancing our love for others with our pursuit of truth and justice we find in scriptures.

My husband and I have three school-aged boys. We have made a deliberate decision to enroll all three of them in public school, a topic that we may get into more in a different podcast. Though I'm able to be in the classroom regularly again this semester, there's still nothing I can do to shelter them from witnessing the reality of the fall--even in elementary. Over the summer, I read Mama Bear Apologetics: Empowering Your Kids to Challenge Cultural Lies, by Hillary Morgan Ferrer and Nancy Pearcey. The book discusses our role as parents in the instruction of biblical truth in a depraved culture. I knew I needed to bring Hillary onto the podcast to share her wisdom with my listeners. Our conversation covered such a wide scope that I've decided to break it into two episodes. In this week's episode, we discuss properly equipping our children to defend their faith. In next week's episode, we'll get into topics from Hillary's second book, co-authored by Amy Davison and released in October 2021--Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality: Empowering Your Kids to Understand and Live Out God's Design. Unfortunately, the second book is all too relevant in today's culture also. We get into some of the tough topics in that book next week. You can pick up the books on Amazon.

Today we are continuing to talk about living lives of Kingdom influence, discipleship and working out what it looks like to live out our faith with two incredible women, Amy Davison and Hillary Morgan Ferrer of Mama Bear Apologetics. Hillary is the founder of Mama Bear Apologetics. What is apologetics exactly? Hillary will talk about that with us in this conversation, but essentially it is making a case for why we believe our faith is true. Does the Bible stand up to scrutiny? How does what we believe coincide with how we live? We'll break that down, define what it means to have a worldview, how that plays out in our postmodern culture, and more. Hillary's hope is that Mom is the apologist for every home, and she feels called to equip women to bring conversations that develop a worldview and help their kids process their questions, safely process their doubts, and learn how to look for answers. Amy was on the path of pursuing masters in theology and apologetics and encountered Hillary's work with MBA and reached out because she wanted to be a part of the work, and wa-lah! Their amazing ministry partnership and friendship was born :) These women are passionate about equipping families to know how to engage their world through the lens of their faith. We'll tackle especially what our kids are encountering in the world they live in. Amy says, “Every facet of media is communicating a worldview.” We want to be able to equip ourselves and our kids with how to filter and process what they are seeing. They also want to press into places where the Bible and God's call to live a certain way has been weaponized, and bring into the Light what is true and what has just been perceived to be true. The heart of MBA isn't to do more shouting though, but to equip us to work through our own beliefs, and then follow God's call to love our neighbors where they are. We are not called to disparage or as Hillary says “be the playground morality police,” but we're called to live counter culturally in a postmodern, post-Christian society and love our neighbor as ourselves. This is hard and holy work, friends, but it is soooo good and I can't wait to dive into it with you! Whether you're a Mama or not, this episode and the work of MBA is incredible, and I know you're going to learn and be stretched here. The Lord can take our questions. He can stand up to our scrutiny. We see Him all throughout scripture invite questions and He meets people right where they are, because their relationship with Him matters to Him. And you matter, friend. Your story matters.

If you're a mama bear, you already know your cubs are being force-fed toxic misinformation about sexuality and gender identity. In their schools. In music. In cartoons. And it's on you to train them to know God's design so they can flourish. But you're not alone, Amy Davison, co-author of Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality, has provided you with this incredible book. And there's even more help at Mama Bear Apologetics to help your kids not just survive but thrive in this post-Christian culture. In this podcast we talk about why kids are leaving the church after high school and not coming back, and how to reverse this! Then, what to do if your child is gender confused. Next, don't have the “sex talk,” with your kids. Have a conversation about the beauty and goodness of sex through all their growing up years. Then, how to be an open door that your kids will walk through to talk about sex. Next, be aware of the “sex positivity” movement—it's something old in a shiny new package. Please share this podcast!

Today, we are going to talk more about unpacking the gift of Emmanuel, God with us, with one of my absolute favorite people, Dorena Williamson. Exactly one hundred episodes ago, Dorena became a part of the simply stories life. She's a children's book author, a writer, a pastor's wife and incredible preacher herself whose passion for God's people and pursuing Biblically diverse unity in the body of Christ has impacted so many people, including myself, and my family. Her books provide verbiage for examining the language we use about our fellow image bearers and modeling those things to our children so that we can better love and serve like Jesus. We talk about what that looks like in this season, the incredible sacrifice of Christ's coming at Christmas, and so much more. Looking back on what all you'll get to hear in this episode, I just am personally remembering these few takeaways from this conversation: -The call to portray a gospel-centered view of others when we give and serve others around the holidays. That we don't place ourselves higher than others, we just learn how to see and engage felt needs in the communities where we live, and love and serve them like a true neighbor. One major way we can do this is by carefully choosing our words and offering a perspective for our children that shows care for others; those that we are serving are or who we may see that are struggling are also part of the body of Christ. -Pressing into uncomfortable conversations with the children in our lives about what they are inevitably going to encounter or have already encountered with a Gospel centered perspective. Dorena reminds us so beautifully “we are the people of God, we can do this,” And whether its about how we treat others, skin color, sex, friends who have different abilities or a whole long list of other things happening in life, if we don't engage with our children about these things, something or someone will. The Lord will equip us, and He will meet us in it. -We break down a good bit of the conversation with Jesus around the story of the Good Samaritan and the heart behind the question “who is my neighbor?” I'm still processing who are my neighbors because the Lord has put them in my path, not because they're the most comfortable people I feel prepared to connect with, but because the Lord saw fit to place them and me for such a time as this. Will I say yes? This is such a rich conversation, and I cannot wait for you to hear it. I hope and pray that wherever you are, you find new ways to experience Emmanuel, God with us.

The top apologetics book over the past two years on Amazon has been Hillary Morgan Ferrer's Mama Bear Apologetics (yes, I think it's sold even more than Mere Christianity). Well, Hillary is back with an equally great new book called Mama Bear Apologetics Guide to Sexuality. And she writes about hard issues in a fun and memorable way. For example, here's a short excerpt: The idea that sexuality should be guarded is not very popular. Our society sees it as just a prudish phase we went through back in the Victorian era. Thanks to Freud, we are now supposedly enlightened, understanding that sexual repression is basically the gateway to all mental illnesses. Be free, little birdies! It's for your own good! Don't listen to those religious nutjobs. They craaazy! Well, are we craaazy? Listen in as Frank asks Hillary to explain why biblical sexual ethics are correct and how you can teach them to your kids. You can't refute something that you don't understand. This podcast and Hillary's book will help you understand the top issues of our day.
