Summary

In today’s episode, we dive deep into one of the most important—and often most uncomfortable—topics for parents: talking with your kids about sex. We’re joined by Rodney and Traci Wright, authors of How to Talk With Your Kids About Sex and the primary speakers in Pure Desire’s new Parent Training Course. We tackle key issues like how to address our own sexual health as parents, the challenges of today's media landscape, and how to adjust these conversations as children grow. We also discuss common fears parents have, such as whether talking about sex too early might encourage risky behavior—and why, in fact, it can help prevent it. This conversation goes beyond the biology of sex and emphasizes the emotional, spiritual, and relational aspects that are just as critical to discuss with kids. You'll hear how trust plays a crucial role in keeping the lines of communication open and what parents can do if they've missed early opportunities to talk about sex.

0:00.0	Hello, hello there, listener. I am Nick Stumbo, your host of the Pure Desire podcast,
0:10.1	a biblically based and clinically informed approach to finding freedom from compulsive sexual
0:16.2	behaviors and healing from betrayal trauma. You are listening today to episode 393 and here joining me today as
0:23.4	my co-host throughout this month of our focus on parenting is my co-host Heather Colb. Heather,
0:30.1	welcome back to the program. Thank you. It's great to be here. Yeah, we are in week two now of this
0:35.7	focus on parents and just trying to equip parents,
0:39.6	grandparents, leaders, really everyone that has a role in speaking into the next generation,
0:44.7	which really we all do, and focusing on that this month.
0:47.7	And today we talked with two of our coworkers and people we think very highly of Rodney and
0:53.0	Tracy Wright, who are the co-authors of the book,
0:55.9	How to Talk with Your Kids About Sex, and then the featured presenters on our new video course,
1:01.8	the parent training course. So talk a little bit about today's conversation and what we heard
1:06.9	from Rodney and Tracy. So I think that we kind of blended a little bit about their book as well as the parent
1:12.8	training course.
1:13.5	And we didn't go through all the different principles.
1:15.5	But we really focused more on what does it look like to practically equip parents to even just
1:22.3	start that conversation with their kids about sex and healthy sexuality, how to do that in an age-appropriate way,
1:29.9	and just really giving a few insights into what they're going to discover either through the book
1:35.5	or the parent training course. And I think one of the things that I appreciate about it is just
1:40.7	helping parents recognize that even when you show affection to your spouse in a
1:46.0	healthy way, that you're modeling healthy sexuality to your kids. And I don't think, I know I
1:51.2	didn't think that when I was a young parent, but really just how much we say is important,
