Many Christian parents want to protect their kids from sexual confusion, pornography, and cultural pressure—but waiting too long to talk about sexuality may be doing more harm than good.

In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview, to discuss how parents can teach kids God’s good design for sexuality early, biblically, and without fear or shame.

They explore:

Why kids are encountering sexual ideas far earlier than most parents realize

How to prepare children for pornography and cultural messages before exposure happens

Why “the talk” should be replaced with ongoing discipleship conversations

How to teach kids biblical sexuality while leading with truth, grace, and the gospel

Practical, age-appropriate tools parents can use starting as young as four years old

If you’re a parent, pastor, homeschooler, or Christian educator navigating today’s culture, this conversation will equip you to shepherd your children with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

The holidays bring joy… but they also expose every relational tension we’ve been avoiding. In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares 3 essential biblical principles to help you navigate family drama, painful memories, broken relationships, and tough conversations around religion and politics.

Before you sit down at the Thanksgiving or Christmas table, take 5 minutes and reset your heart with gospel hope. Your words can bring grace. Your presence can bring peace. And Jesus can bring healing into places that still hurt.

If you’re feeling the weight of family conflict, prodigal children, loss, or strained relationships this season—this message is for you.

👉 Put Jesus on display.

👉 Celebrate who is at the table.

👉 Honestly evaluate your own heart.

God’s grace is sufficient in both the joy and the pain.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.
