Can you tell us about you, your family, and your ministry?
What inspired you to write, Born Again This Way?
Why do think living in an LGBT-Affirming World causes so much fear for parents?
Why do think starting with what sex is, is a good place to start this conversation?
Why do you think so much of our culture, including Christian culture, talks and acts like romantic relationships are critical for our identity?
What does it look like for parents to have healthy age-appropriate conversations about sex with their kids?
Why is it important to have a safe relationship with our kids so important when it comes to this conversation when they hear conflicting messages?
At the end of each chapter, you have practices and principles, how are you hoping that helps parents?
How do we keep our kids from seeing people as good and bad based on what they believe and live in regards to this topic?

0:12.8	This is Adam Griffin, and I'm here with my co-host today.
0:16.3	No, Chelsea, but we are with Cassie Bryant.
0:19.6	Cassie, something that makes the Bryant family stand out.
0:22.8	What makes the Bryant family different? I mean, we have all girls. Oh, so when you go places to people
0:27.7	make a lot of comments about raising daughters. Oh, yeah. And then they ask, how close are they?

The stay-at-home mom, I think, is probably more of a luxury than most parents, both work. All right. Well, today we also have with us with Cassie and I, we have Rachel Gilson, ladies and gentlemen.

1:28.6	You mean my video game?
1:30.6	Or real life.
1:32.2	Yeah.
1:32.6	I don't know that I can furnish a legitimate report on civilization, but it's beautiful
