Some topics that I cover on CHRISTIAN PARENT/CRAZY WORLD are relevant to lot of parents and a lot of kids, but the topic of sexuality is relevant to ALL parents and ALL kids. We cannot escape this issue in our families and our friend circles.

So who defines our sexuality?

Our celebrities, our politicians, our teachers and school administrators, our friends, our feelings… or God.

If we want to call ourselves Christ followers, the answer to that question must be God because He designed our sexuality. And the parameters He places around it in His Word are not there to oppress us and deny our authentic selves. Those parameters exist to bless us and to bring us freedom.

In part 2 of a 4-part series on sexuality, Erin Barry joins me again to discuss the loving parameters that God places around our sexuality to protect us and how can we communicate Biblical sexuality to our kids.

Erin is an author, speaker, counselor, and educational consultant. With a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in counseling, Erin is now working on her doctorate in Christian counseling with an emphasis on the topic of sexuality. Erin and her husband Brett are founders of The Home Educated Mind, a Christ-centered community dedicated to providing materials and support for Christian parents.
