ADVICE

Give A Gospel Vision For Sexuality

  • Teach kids a gospel-centered, affirmative vision of sex rather than a fear-driven "don't do" list.
  • Build a foundation of goodness and flourishing so children learn biblical reasons for sexual boundaries.
INSIGHT

Purity Culture’s Narrow Gaze

  • Purity culture narrowed views by focusing on external obedience and promises of perfect marriage.
  • That focus often missed teaching the full gospel and God's original design for human flourishing.
ADVICE

Point Kids To Jesus For Longing

  • Use simple heart-language to point children to Jesus as the only one who fills their deepest longings.
  • Name feelings and show that Jesus meets the gap parents cannot fill.
