Talking to kids about sex can feel overwhelming—but avoiding the conversation doesn't make it easier. In this replay episode, Megan Michelson and Mary Flo Ridley break down how to approach these important topics in a way that feels natural, age-appropriate, and shame-free.Instead of relying on a single, awkward “talk,” they encourage parents to build an ongoing dialogue that evolves as kids grow. From early childhood curiosity to teenage years and deeper conversations about puberty and masturbation, this episode offers practical tools to help you stay calm, confident, and connected.We cover how to introduce basic biology (like seeds, eggs, and conception), how to respond when your child isn't interested in the conversation, and why tone matters more than perfection. You'll also learn how to navigate common parenting moments—like little ones exploring their bodies—without shame, while still setting healthy boundaries.As kids get older, the conversation shifts. Megan and Mary Flo share how to approach puberty, why “shoulder-to-shoulder” conversations can be more effective than face-to-face talks, and how to handle more complex topics like masturbation in a way that balances honesty, guidance, and emotional awareness.If you've ever felt unsure about when to start, what to say, or how to say it—this episode will give you a clear, grounded approach.What You'll Learn: Why “the talk” doesn't work—and what to do instead How to start conversations about bodies and sex at a young age Age-appropriate language for explaining reproduction and biology What to do when your child avoids or shuts down the conversation Why tone and delivery matter more than saying everything perfectly Connect with Birds & Bees:  Website: Birds and  Bees Instagram: Birds and Bees | Online Course | Megan Michelson (@birds__bees) Links Mentioned:  God's Design for Sex Series: By Stan &Brenna Jones Wild Things: The Art of Nurturing Boys By David Thomas Related Episodes: Gender and Sexuality :: Preston Sprinkle [Ep 370] Let's Talk about Sex :: Mary Flo Ridley and Megan Michelson [Ep 328] Sexual Identity and Radical Ordinary Hospitality :: Dr. Rosaria Butterfield [Ep 301] Featured Sponsors:  Thrive Causemetics: Amplify your spring look with Thrive Causemetics.

He emphasizes that the human heart was created to worship, and if God isn't filling that void, other things—like sports, technology, control, or societal validation—inevitably will (19:35-20:20).Biblical Context: The message references the Israelites and the Golden Calf (8:33-12:50). He explains that the Israelites turned to idols because they could not sustain faithfulness without visible leadership, a pattern that persists today as people trade God's truth for cultural comfort (10:57-12:47).Four Ways We Become Idol Makers: Long outlines four specific ways we displace God in our lives:Trading trust for control (25:15-31:56).Seeking certainty in an uncertain world (29:33-35:04).Elevating others (or things) above God (35:04-44:53).Attaching our identity to something other than God (44:53-51:41).Practical Application: The speaker shares his personal experience of identifying idols and the importance of prayer, fasting, and surrendering control to God to find true peace, satisfaction, and significance (41:14-44:53, 58:02-59:03).The Gospel Message: Long concludes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate deliverer from idolatry. He offers an invitation to those who have not yet put their trust in Jesus to receive the gift of salvation and begin a new life (54:00-1:02:26).Additionally, the video includes church updates, including a prayer of blessing over staff members Tristan, Brooklyn, and Jacob (0:39-4:38), and a recap of the Men of Valor Conference (5:25-6:05). Sexual Identity

'A Better Love' is a new book from Living Out that features a range of people who experience same sex attraction, talking about their experience of encountering God. Today's guest is one of the contributors, who helps us think through the issues of community, discipleship, acceptance and confusion that we may navigate when sharing our faith with the LGBT+ community.Adam Curtis is a Curate in Sidcup and oversees evangelism at his church. He loves reading the Bible with non-Christians and Christians alike. He studied his BA in theology at Cardiff University and his MA at Oak Hill College. He is taller than the average door post and enjoys playing the ukulele.

We live in a moment where feelings rule, rights are weaponized, and identity is endlessly redefined. And the church isn't immune. SUMMARY 1 Corinthians 6 confronts the modern obsession with rights, autonomy, and self-defined identity. Paul makes it clear: believers don't belong to themselves—body, identity, and freedom all belong to Christ. Maturity means surrendering self-ownership and living for God's glory. REFLECTION & SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS Why do personal rights feel so important in our culture—and how can they compete with Christian witness? What does Paul mean when he asks, "Why not rather be wronged?" How do lawsuits among believers damage the gospel's credibility? Where do you see the lie of false ownership showing up in the church today? Why does Paul treat fraud as a theological issue, not just a moral one? What stands out to you about the phrase, "And such were some of you"? How does identity received from God differ from identity constructed by the self? What's the difference between freedom from sin and freedom to sin? Why does "my body, my choice" collapse under biblical scrutiny? What would it look like this week to genuinely glorify God with your body?  

In this powerful episode of The Midlife Sex Coach for Women, Dr. Sonia introduces the 4 R's framework for creating a new sexual self identity: Review, Reframe, Release, and Renew. If you feel stuck in old patterns around intimacy, desire, or connection, it may not be because you're broken—it may be because your nervous system is still carrying emotional weight from the past. Shame, guilt, resentment, anger, and sadness are often signals that something is still being held inside the body. And when we're holding onto the past, it becomes difficult to step into the version of ourselves we are trying to become. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Identify what still needs to be processed by noticing emotional triggers Review your past without replaying old pain Reframe past experiences with compassion (including forgiveness) Release emotional weight that keeps you guarded Renew your identity and step into your future sexual self This episode will help you gently let go of old stories, calm your nervous system, and begin practicing the identity of the woman who creates intimacy on purpose. ✨ Learn more about Dr. Sonia's programs and the Diamond Intimacy Collective:

In this episode, we sit down with Gregory Coles, author, scholar, and speaker, to explore his deeply personal journey of faith, sexuality, and self-understanding. Gregory's life story spans multiple cultures, academic disciplines, and spiritual landscapes — from growing up in Indonesia to earning a PhD in English and becoming a voice for nuanced conversations at the intersections of Christianity and sexual identity.Gregory discusses the challenges and insights that shaped his path: wrestling with same-sex attraction within his Christian upbringing, the theological and emotional work of self-discovery, and his ongoing commitment to both his faith and personal integrity. We delve into what it means to live faithfully as a gay Christian committed to singleness, how church communities can meaningfully engage in compassionate dialogue, and the hope he finds in belonging both to Christ and to a broader community of seekers.Listeners will gain a compelling blend of theological reflection, honest storytelling, and practical encouragement — whether they're navigating questions of identity themselves or seeking to better understand the lives of others.Resources from Gregory Coles:Book — Single, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Faith and Sexual Identity: https://www.gregorycoles.com/book-single-gay-christian/Greg's Official Website: https://www.gregorycoles.com/Native Exiles is a podcast from Alderwood Community Church, where we talk about following Jesus in the tension of being in the world but not of it.To view our full Position Paper, visit alderwood.cc/essentials

Why even bestselling sex experts lose their desire—and how Dr. Emily's nervous system was so shot she didn't even want orgasms. The myth that kept her terrified to stop sex once it started: believing "blue balls" required hospitalization—and the truth that you can stop and start anytime. A parent worried their college-age kids aren't having sex or relationships—the questions to ask instead of pushing sex on them, and why nobody dies from not having sex but people do die from loneliness. The most important thing parents can do around sexuality: unlearn your own shame first—because your embarrassment when they ask questions teaches them more than any words ever could. The reframe for anyone struggling with desire: what you actually want when you want sex (it's not orgasm—you can do that alone), and what you don't want when you don't want sex.

We need to know our identity (Prov 23:7). It has 2 sources: our (1) CREATION in Adam (Gen 1:26-27) & (2) REDEMPTION in Christ. Since we're born in Adam, we share his identity as God's image, to reflect & express His glory. As part of our identity, He created us male or female. In Adam, we all sinned & are under divine judgment. Our nature, inherited from Adam, is prideful rebellion against God. Man's collective sin became so bad, God judged it at Noah's Flood, after which He told man to fill the earth (Gen 9:1). But man rebelled again at Babel (Gen 11:1-9). So, God scattered man over the earth, dividing us into nations. This is God's will, designed to restrain the spread of sin. It's God's idea to create national identities, with different characteristics, that are part of our identity & inheritance in Adam. We embrace & celebrate these aspects of our identity, as we should embrace our God-given sexual identity. As man separated into nations, they developed their own cultures & ways, so certain genes became dominant in populations, creating different abilities & appearances. Though we're divided into nations, we belong to one human family in Adam (Acts 17:26), and so share a common inheritance (good & bad), so we're all equal. Globalism tries to override the power of nation states to set up a one-world government. This was Nimrod's vision at Babel, so he could rule over all mankind. A rebel against God (Gen 10:9), running the world is a worst-case scenario. Satan is trying to rebuild Babel, putting his antichrist in charge of a one-world government (called Babylon). He'll succeed for a short time before Christ destroys it at His Return, and sets up His one world Government. Although many aspects of our natural inheritance & identity are God-given, the great problem is that we also inherit from Adam his identity & nature as a sinner. So, part of our natural identity is that by natural birth, we belong to a fallen race under Divine Judgment, whatever other natural positive qualities we might have. God has a solution for the Fall. Christ came as the 2nd Adam, to be the head of a new human race in Him, the source of a new identity. He came to bring forth a New Creation, a new family in Himself. In His death as the last Adam, He took on Himself all the fallen aspects of our Adamic inheritance of sin & death, and cancelled it, and by His resurrection He brought us into a new inheritance in the New Covenant, the firstborn from the dead of a New Creation, a new species of humanity, with His spiritual DNA. For those who receive Him as Saviour & Lord, He provides a New Birth of our spirit, making us a New Man in Christ. Thru our union with Him, we receive a new nature, identity & origin-history, for we've died & risen with Christ, and now belong to Him. As our 1st (physical) birth in Adam made us an inheritor of Adam, so our new (spiritual) birth in Christ makes us an inheritor of all that's Christ's (John 1:12-13, 3:3-7, Eph 4:23-24). We still have the God-given aspects of our natural identity & inheritance (gender, gifts, personality & nation), but our new identity & inheritance in Christ is far more important & dominant. By our union with Christ, all God's blessings of God are ours in Christ (Rom 8:32, 2Cor 1:20, Eph 1:3). Whoever we are in the natural, the most important truth about us is who we are in Christ (Col 3:9). In this New Creation reality, Christ is all important, and He is in us all. We're all equal in Him. National & natural distinctions still exist, but are overwhelmed by the greater truth of our identity in Christ – we belong to Him, created in His image, in God's family & Kingdom. National distinctions & natural differences count for nothing as far as our inheritance in Christ is concerned (Phil 3:4-7). We're all equal inheritors of salvation & eternal life (Rom 10:12-13). God has no favourites (2Cor 5:14-17). The new overrules and supersedes the old. We don't just have a new individual identity in Christ, but a new corporate identity. We're not just individuals; together we form one New Man in Christ (Eph 2:8-15), His New Creation, one People of God, one Body & Bride of Christ, one forever Family, living stones forming a single Temple of God. We're God's people, redeemed by His Blood (Rev 5:8-10). We have a common origin in His death & resurrection, a common identity in Christ, and a common purpose to live for (glorify) Him who loved us (Gal 3:26-28). We are all ONE (entity) in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:28). As in Adam, we're all of one blood (Acts 17:26), so in Christ, we're of one blood (the Blood of Christ). Being in Christ & His family is our primary (core) identity. Our allegiance to Christ overwhelms all other loyalties, and His command is to love one another. We celebrate our natural & national diversity, but most of all we celebrate our identity & unity in Christ, where God has broken down all racial divisions.

Treatment for transgender kids is a topic as fluid as the gender identity of Gen Z. Adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Miriam Grossman describes the rarely-publicized risks of sex identity changes--medical and psychological--and ways that parents should respond to their trans kids. Warning: some graphic, but professional, discussion of this sensitive topic.News update: Since our interview, the U.S. v. Skrmetti case referenced in our show was decided. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld, by a vote of 6 to 3, a state ban on certain pharmaceutical and surgical treatments for transgender minors. The Tennessee law in question was Prohibition on Medical Procedures Performed on Minors Related to Sexual Identity, Senate Bill 1 (SB1).Additional Resources: MiriamGrossmanmd.comDonoharm.orgTradition or Transition?

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health.

This summer, we're taking a short break from our regular podcast format, and instead have selected various installments from past message series given by James Emery White at Mecklenburg Community Church where he serves as the Senior Pastor. All things gender continues to be a hot-button issue in today's culture, making headlines around the globe for various reasons. We thought that sharing this installment of the Meck series called "Gender" would set a firm foundation for everyone and answer questions that you may have when it comes to the theology of sexual identity. Episode Links Below you'll find the link to the full series if that's something you are interested in checking out, along with the sources that were used in the development of the message itself: “Gender” Preston Sprinkle, Embodied: Transgender Identities, the Church and What the Bible Has to Say (David C. Cook, 2021). “A Mister No More: Mr. Potato Head Goes Gender Neutral,” AP/USA Today, February 26, 2021. Colin M. Wright and Emma N. Hilton, “The Dangerous Denial of Sex,” The Wall Street Journal, February 13, 2020. Steven Rhoads, Taking Sex Differences Seriously.

In contrast to the postmodern beliefs of our age, we look at a biblical perspective of homosexual relationships and gender identity to find that true fulfillment is found in God's design, true purpose is found in holiness, our true identity is found in Jesus, and the sexual ethos of our day has become an open door to the gospel. A Q&A follows the message.

Dominique Lovings hosts Tiffany Ramm, LCSW on "Whiskey Sour Libations and Conversation" to explore the theme of sexual freedom and how it contrasts with societal labels of promiscuity. Tiffany shares her experiences as a licensed therapist and discusses how past content sometimes leads to undeserved judgments about her character. The episode delves into the societal double standards women face regarding sexual liberation, challenges in relationships, and the broader implications of male-dominated narratives. Engage with this conversation that questions societal norms and advocates for understanding and personal growth in sexual identity.

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

In this enlightening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt dives into the intriguing world of autosexuality—a term that describes individuals who experience sexual attraction primarily towards themselves. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne unpacks this often-misunderstood concept, shedding light on what it means to be autosexual and how it differs from other sexual orientations.Brianne explores the nuances of autosexuality, discussing how it can manifest in various ways, from self-pleasure to fantasizing about one's own body. She shares insights on how this self-focused attraction can coexist with romantic feelings for others, emphasizing that autosexuality is not a mental disorder but rather a unique sexual preference that celebrates self-love and acceptance.Throughout the episode, Brianne highlights key characteristics of autosexual individuals, including their tendency to find pleasure in their own bodies, the importance of self-connection, and the potential intimacy challenges that can arise. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how self-acceptance can enhance their relationships with themselves and others.As the conversation unfolds, Brianne reminds us that embracing our identities—no matter how unconventional—can lead to greater fulfillment and connection. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of autosexuality and the importance of understanding our own desires.

What if it took you until MID life to say out loud something that you've been trying to find the words for your whole life. Something like: “Yes, I know I am a mother, married to a man, but I am also bisexual…and I'm ready to date women.”That's the story of today's guest, the novelist Julie Cohen. Julie was in her 40s when she came out as bisexual. She tells Holly Wainwright that some people asked her why she bothered. As if age, itself, rendered her sexuality irrelevant. Others suggested that just as an adolescent's sexuality can be dismissed as a “phase” -  perhaps hers was simply a mid-life crisis. Dating after divorce, navigating the apps and the first post-long-term relationship sexual encounters are interesting and nerve-wracking for anyone, and Julie says that was no different for her. You're going to hear how it all went, the pleasures of post-penis sex, what she found the differences in dating men and women to be, and just how it felt to be living the version of herself that, as Julie says, she didn't even have a word for when she was growing up. You can follow Julie Cohen on Instagram here. You can find Julie's books here. THE END BITS:  Share your feedback!
