How did you learn about sex? Did your parents have healthy, biblical, grace-filled, clear, and ongoing conversations with you growing up? For many of today’s parents, the answer is “no.” If there was a conversation about your changing body or sex, it was likely awkward—and one-time only. Perhaps in the absence of parental guidance, you learned instead from friends, a science class, magazines, or online, all of it falling short of understanding and celebrating God’s good plan for your identity and sexuality.
Fast forward a generation, and the lies, confusion, and pressure from the Sexual Revolution have only worsened. Today’s young people need clearer guidance and stronger support than their parents did, and yet many modern parents are ill-equipped to provide it. In A Better Sex Talk, Lori Kuykendall (mother of four) brings decades of experience in public health and sex education to help you:
- Become the primary sex educator of your child
- Prioritize staying connected and close with your child
- Trade the one-time-only “big sex talk” approach for having ongoing, healthy, biblical conversations that balance truth and grace
- Reflect on your own adolescent experience, uprooting any harmful or false beliefs
- Prepare your kids to understand their bodies, draw healthy body boundaries, and learn God’s good plan for sex and identity
- Effectively communicate your values and expectations
If you’ve been waiting for an ongoing plan to sexually educate your kids, helping them walk with confidence in God’s beautiful design for sex, the body, and sexual health and wholeness, the time is now. As Lori often says: “You can do this!” and “You MUST do this!”
