This week on Parental Discretion, Lauren and Georgia begin a new series exploring God’s good design for sex. Rather than focusing on fear, shame, or rules, they unpack how sex was God's idea from the very beginning and why it's intended to be understood as a gift, not just a problem to manage.

In this episode:

• A sticky note question from a Grade 5 student:"Do you have to have sex when you're older?"
• Why sex is about more than physical activity and points toward intimacy, connection, and being known.
• The first two purposes of sex: babies and beauty.
• How Scripture presents sex as part of God's good creation.
• The difference between desire and lust.
• What science reveals about pleasure, connection, and God's design.

Plus, practical reflection questions to help parents consider how they talk about sex, faith, and relationships with their children.

What outcome do you want for your child?

In this episode, Lauren and Georgia explore the heart behind conversations about sex, relationships, and faith. They discuss why understanding the "why" matters more than simply following rules, how grace and discipleship go hand in hand, and what it means to keep pointing our children toward Jesus through every stage of life.

In this episode:

• A listener question about sex and Christian beliefs
• Behaviour vs. discipleship
• The importance of grace in parenting
• Staying connected when children make different choices
• Helping young people build a personal faith

Key takeaway: Parenting isn't just about raising well-behaved children. It's about helping them know and follow Jesus for themselves.
