We don’t know any Christian parents who aren’t concerned about the sexual temptation and confusion….nudging our kids to leave the paths of sexual faithfulness the Lord has laid out in his word. Thankfully, Harvest has provided a useful resource for parents seeking to help their children flourish under the authority of a wise and good God. These videos lay a clear biblical framework and then helpfully apply it with scripts and talking points that any parent can use in continued discussions over the years. Whether you use this course in your home or in a church context, you will be encouraged and equipped to parent with confidence and compassion in a sexually disoriented world.

The world is constantly catechizing our children with a warped version of human sexuality. That’s why I am so thankful for this course. Raising Sexually Faithful Kids is biblically rooted, theologically astute, gospel-saturated instruction for Christian parents so you are equipped to have regular, intentional talks about sexuality with your kids in an age-appropriate way. It offers practical, step by step guidance to help parents help their children treasure God’s beautiful design for human sexuality. Please, parents, your children need you to listen to this material. They will one day thank you for giving them both biblical truth and gospel encouragement as they navigate the path of God-honoring sexuality.
