I'm also concerned with moms and dads raising children,

children still under the roof, if you will, still school age,

who are getting bombarded with lies from the culture

and are trying to figure out, you know,

how do we handle this and how do we handle it when our kid comes home?

And we find out that a friend of theirs has decided to be a male

when in fact she's a female or, you know, whatever might be going on.

So as a parent educator, as she's a female or you know whatever might be going on so as a parent

educator as a child expert if you will i'm concerned for lies being believed changes happening and

parents not able to stand up and in love say no hey friend. Welcome to Java with Julie.

I'm Julie Slattery, and thanks for joining me.

Java with Julie is a listener-supported podcast and is an outreach of authentic intimacy,

which is a ministry dedicated to reclaiming God's design for sexuality.

Well, one of the things that you often hear me talk about on Job with Julie is how we integrate

God's design for sexuality into our lives, our conversations, and our choices, how we integrate

our sexuality with who we are as God's children. And more than ever, it takes intentionality

to have a view of sexuality that's grounded in truth and reflects God's

design for intimacy. You know, each one of us needs to be sexually disciples. And parents,

it's your job to sexually disciple your children. I know it's a difficult job and it seems like

it's getting harder every day. That's why I've invited Dr. Kathy Cook to be my guest today.

Kathy was a guest on job with Julie last fall just a few months ago,

and she helped us understand why helping our kids build resilience is such a key part of discipleship.
