  • 395 - Parenting In A Digital Age w/ Kristen Jenson
    Jan 28 2025

    In this episode, we tackle one of the most pressing concerns for parents today: protecting children from the dangers of pornography. Kristen Jenson, author of Good Pictures, Bad Pictures, shares her inspiration behind writing the book and her mission to help parents guide their young children through the complexities of online content in a way that is age-appropriate and effective.

    We discuss the concept of "porn-proofing" children, which was explored in Pure Desire’s new Parent Training Course, and why it's more crucial than ever for parents to take an active role in safeguarding their kids from harmful material.

    With many parents feeling overwhelmed by the task of guiding their children through the digital landscape, Nick, Heather, and Kristen provide practical advice on how to approach these tough conversations with confidence, compassion, and love. Whether you're just starting to think about these issues or are already deep in the process of "porn-proofing" your children, this episode offers essential tools and insights for every parent in today’s digital age.

  • 394 - Educating Parents On Biblical Sexual Health
    Jan 21 2025

    Join us as we explore the intersection of faith and sexual health education, with expert insights from Dr. Glen Maiden on how to approach teaching children about sex from a biblical perspective. As a biblical sexual health educator, Dr. Glen shares how to approach this sensitive topic with children in a way that honors faith-based values while promoting healthy, balanced views of sexuality.

    We discuss how to introduce sexual health teachings to children, both from a practical and scriptural standpoint, and how biblical principles can shape these conversations. We discuss how parents can break free from unhealthy or shame-based approaches to sexuality, especially if they grew up in environments where sex was stigmatized or misunderstood.

    You'll learn how to talk about sex in a way that avoids instilling shame or fear, and instead, encourages healthy, respectful attitudes toward their bodies and relationships. For parents who feel uncertain or overwhelmed by these conversations, this episode offers compassionate advice on how to approach the subject with confidence and grace.

Amazing insight

This podcast has helped me realize the traumatic impact of my actions on my wife. I'm now working on recovery and healing with her. This group has been instrumental in helping me manage my addiction, embrace spirituality, and restore hope in myself, my wife, and our marriage.

Combat Spec Ops Medic!! Saved by His grace!!

vVery excited to listen to the rest of these podcasts. I'm living in South America right now, separated from my family and my true love, my wife. God has been at work on me and in me for many years now. U did not know that there was help out there like this. I truly feel this is an answer to prayer and the start of a very longed for and hopefilled New Beginning. Praise you Lord for the Help and encouragement! i love being a "Narrowgater!"

For men and women who desire to follow God's will.

These guys are doing the good work of God. They are helping others eliminate unwanted behaviors with the end game being, helping others find their purpose for their lives serving God. The podcasts are great snippets of joining a seven pillars or beyond betrayal group.
