Summary
Raise your hands if you are excited about talking with your teen about sexual integrity? Not me. These are hard, but necessary conversations we must have with our kids. I have the very best voices in this area, Jim Burns and Erin Mashaw, on the podcast today.
In this episode, we discuss the complexities of parenting, particularly in relation to sexuality and communication. We talk about the importance of early education on sexual integrity, the challenges posed by the purity culture and the need for open dialogue between parents and children.Â
The bottom line is our kids need a healthy and safe place to talk about their sexuality. As a parent, that can feel very scary. You will love these two and want to pick up their newest book - that gives you and your teen some language that will help. Our kids are all curious about sexuality and bombarded with messages that are far from biblical truth. Erin and Jim approach a tough topic with such love and grace.Â
In this episode, we chat about:
- How to start conversations about sexuality earlyÂ
- How purity culture created shame around sexuality
- Understanding curiosity and boundariesÂ
- How to encourage dating in a way that fosters healthy relationships
Enjoy!

| 0:05.0 | Hey friends, welcome to Park in the Mess. |
| 0:15.0 | I'm your host, Courtney Defeo. |
| 0:16.0 | And before we get into the episode and who we have on today, |
| 0:19.0 | I need to talk to you about two things. One, |
| 0:21.9 | laundry, two, prayer journal. Are you ready? Okay, so I don't know if you know this about me or |
| 0:27.0 | if it even told you about this product, but I think that I haven't, so I'm just going to repeat it |
| 0:31.8 | or say it again. But I love laundry. Like, I really do. I'm psychotic about it. I like to stay ahead of it and I don't like to cook or anything in the kitchen. But like if we shared a duplex or we were like sister wives or something, like I'd handle the laundry. But I also have a really strong sense of smell. Anybody else? Like I always knew if I was pregnant because you'd walk in the grocery store and it's like dog food. |
| 0:54.3 | It's like jumping in your nostrils. But all but to say, if there's any, I have a front |
| 0:58.5 | loader laundry system washer. And if it ever smells off like somebody shut the door and it got |
| 1:04.5 | mildew or a towel was left in there too long, it freaks me out. And I don't like that smell |
| 1:08.8 | because you can smell on your clothes. So all but to say, my friend Wendy, who I've had on here before, Wendy is amazing about |
| 1:15.8 | all things home. She told me about afresh and I have got it and it just washes your washer |
| 1:21.5 | machine like once a month. And I do it maybe once every two or three months when I remember. |
| 1:26.1 | But y'all, I went on to find the link for you |
| 1:28.1 | and put it in my Amazon shop and put it on my game changer list, which there's not a bunch in there, |
| 1:32.4 | but I'm working on it. And it had like 250,000 reviews. I'm like, okay, it's not just me that |
| 1:38.4 | thinks this product is amazing. So anyway, you're welcome. Go on over and clean out your washer, and it will make your day. These are the things of a mother. Okay, second thing is the prayer journal. So right now, as we speak, we are working on the prayer journal that we're going to use for next school year. So if you don't know, on Mondays on Part of the Mess, we pray through a journal and pray for our kids around certain topics. And so I need |
| 2:01.8 | some more feedback. A couple of you wrote in, but I would like to know, are there any specific topics |
| 2:06.0 | you like us to cover? Is there a format? Do you even use the journal? I think y'all are so sweet because |
| 2:11.8 | it's a nonprofit and you love me. You buy the journal, but you really use it. I want to hear from you, |
