Episode 18-Teaching Your Children Healthy Sexual Integrity with Jim Burns
Talking to your kids about sex might feel like a low priority for parents, especially when we hope they'll wait until marriage. However, research shows that positive, value-centered conversations about sex lead to less promiscuity and confusion among children. In today's episode, Jim encourages parents to teach their children about sexual integrity. When kids understand their worth comes from Christ, they can better recognize and resist the world's temptations. Join Jim and special guests over the next few weeks to discuss healthy sexuality and pre-order his new book, A Student’s Guide to Sexual Integrity.

Communicating the Gospel
The Four Principles
- Lead with Love
- This is the message of Jesus. He didn’t agree with those who were going against the morality of the day, but He did lead with love. We should too.
- Kindness Matters
- Is it possible to be kind and still hold a biblical worldview? YES, it is!
- Make sure that our kids understand they were made in the image of God
- Make sure they understand that God created them! When God created them, He said it was “very good”!
- God Loves You Unconditionally
- Make sure they know that He loves them completely and unconditionally!
