Summary
We are taking a small break this July to gear up for season five of the Strong Women podcast. But during this break, we decided to re-air some episodes that we thought you would enjoy.
Our guests today are Linda Noble and Linda Stewart, affectionately called “The Lindas.” I love how these two ladies in different seasons of life looked at the world around them and asked, “What is missing that we can add?” They tell us how they joined together to learn and then create something that offers a window into God’s design for sex, which fits into the larger story that He wants to be known by us, and He uses His creation—including our own bodies—to pursue a relationship with us. I am excited for you to learn about how God has designed our bodies and our sexuality to invite us into a deeper relationship with Him. We must learn these big truths about God’s design in order to invite the young people in our lives to grasp the significance of the gift of sex within marriage. Without the big picture, this seems like just a rule to follow instead of an invitation to flourish.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Women podcast, |
| 0:09.4 | where we explore the beautifully diverse ways |
| 0:11.8 | God invites and equips women to participate in his story. |
| 0:16.2 | We're here to encourage one another |
| 0:18.1 | as we step out of the shallow definitions of what it means to be a woman |
| 0:22.3 | and into the flourishing life that comes when we walk out our design. I'm your host Sarah Stone Street. |
| 0:28.8 | I'm so glad you're here. Welcome back to our conversation with Linda Stewart and Linda Noble, who are the authors of Before the Sex Talk, a theology of the body approach for parents and mentors. |
| 0:46.9 | And if you missed our conversation with them last week, I would love to encourage you to pause this conversation. |
| 0:53.7 | Go back to our last week's episode. Listen to that first, |
| 0:57.4 | because in that we really set up what is theology of the body? Why is it important? Why is it important for us as parents and mentors to understand it? |
| 1:07.1 | And how can we invite our kids into this big picture of what it means to be made in the image |
| 1:13.5 | of God and how our bodies matter and what we do with our bodies matters. So go back and listen to that. |
| 1:20.1 | This week we're going to talk with them about some more practical things. How to have this |
| 1:26.7 | ongoing conversation with the young people in our lives. |
| 1:30.4 | So we're going to jump right in. And I want to tell a story about my search for having this |
| 1:35.5 | conversation. When my 13-year-old daughter was having her birthday, I decided I need to have this |
| 1:42.1 | talk with her. You know, like, let's go away for the weekend. |
| 1:45.4 | Let's have this awkward talk and, you know, make this happen. So I just grabbed a popular |
| 1:52.0 | purity curriculum, tossed it in my car. It came with some CDs and I thought, I didn't do any |
| 1:58.6 | preparation, which was silly. So I didn't even know. I just assumed |
| 2:02.3 | because so many people loved it. That's why I'm not naming it because I don't want you all |
| 2:06.6 | listeners mad at me. So I stuck in the CD and quickly realized, oh, that's the approach we're going |
