Hi friend, I'm Julie Slattery and this is Java with Julie and thanks for being here with me.

This listener supported podcast as an outreach of authentic intimacy, a ministry dedicated

to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

And today we're going to talk about how you can reclaim conversations about sexuality

with children, maybe your kids or your grandkids.

You know children in today's world are absorbing very confusing messages about sexuality.

Just consider that the average age of exposure to pornography is around 10 and that's average.

Children are trying to make sense of things that you and I were never exposed to when we

were young.

So how do you begin to teach and equip them?

Well my guests today, Lindsay and Justin Holcomb are going to help with that.

They're going to give us some how-tos about how we begin talking to our kids about sexuality.

And here's a spoiler alert.

We don't actually have to start by describing something as graphic as sexual intercourse.

It can be so much more simple than that.

We'll answer some of the practical questions that parents are asking like, is it safe to

let my child do sleepovers with friends or overnight camps?

Justin and Lindsay have written three children's books and they're called God made all of me.

God made me and his image and God made babies.

Now these are great resources to get you started on healthy conversations with young children

about sexuality.
