Episode Details

The internet is always ready to teach your kids about sex, and it will never run out of confidence, explicit detail, or bad theology. So what happens when parents stay silent, feel ashamed, or rely on one painfully awkward “talk” and hope that covers it? We sit down with Josh Glaser, co-author of Treading Boldly, to name the void that porn and online sexual content rushes to fill and to offer a better vision for Christian parenting in a pornographic culture.

We explore what it means to become an “askable parent,” the kind of mom or dad your child can approach with real curiosity without getting shut down or shamed. We get practical about timing and wording, from early questions like “Where do babies come from?” to the moment a child asks how a baby gets into a womb. Josh explains why using correct anatomy terms (penis and vagina) can actually reduce stigma and increase safety, and how to frame sex as sacred, private, and designed for a husband and wife without turning the topic into a fear-based lecture.

We also go deeper than technique. Many of us were never shepherded in sexual health, or we were exposed to pornography too young, or we carry wounds that make these conversations feel impossible. We talk about hope, healing, and inviting God to re-father us so we can show up more present for our kids, even if we feel imperfect. If you want practical guidance, spiritual encouragement, and a path toward healthier family conversations about sex, press play, share this with a parent who needs it, and subscribe and leave a review so more families can find it.
