Kids are learning about sex education from birth on.
This can be a big task for parents, schools and churches! Join Chris and Karlie as they interview author Dr. Beth Robinson about having healthy conversations about sexuality with children and teenagers. Using her experience in this area, Dr. Robinson calls parents, schools and churches to stop being silent and engage teenagers in conversations about sex. Instead of being afraid of these discussions, listen and be equipped with questions and principles that can make these conversations beneficial and empowering.
In this episode, you’ll find out…
- How to have healthy conversations about sexuality with a teen.
- When teenagers and kids start getting curious about sex.
- How parents can respond in a positive way when their kids start asking questions.
- The dangers of pornography viewing for teenagers.
- How parents can have an open dialogue about pornography with their kids.

Ask yourself…
- Where is my teenager getting their information about sex?
- Am I willing to listen to my teenager more than I talk?
Go ask a teen…
- What do you think about what we just saw?
- What do you think I think about it?
- What do you think God thinks about it?
Have a question?
