Sex. The unavoidable topic that looms large over our parenting, threatening a lot of us into a shame-faced presentation of the basics with our kids. 

The problem is, so many of us don't love the way our own parents presented the topic of sex to us, or we feel like we were dunked into the junk of the world's bankrupt free-for-all, and so we either swing the pendulum or scratch our heads thinking, "I didn't realize this was going to be so difficult." 

Join us as we talk to young adults about how the topic of sex ed was handled in their homes growing up, and listen as Barrett Johnson once again encourages us to raise kids with courage and boldness.

What's it like to be raised in a homeschooling family but then ultimately walk away from your parents' faith and lifestyle? What prompts such a 180° turn? This week's episode features a young man who has done just that, and despite having grown up in what he identifies as a rigid environment, Matthew is a huge proponent of home education and calls his mom one of the best teachers around.

If you're raising a houseful of homeschooled kids, episode 15 might just challenge you to think about how well you're listening to your kids, looking for their strengths, and pointing them to Jesus.
