Your kids are hearing messages about sex, sexuality, and gender, whether you talk to them about it or not. And the messages they're getting from the world couldn't be further from God's truth.

In this conversation with Elizabeth Urbanowicz (author of "Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design" and founder of Foundation Worldview), we're talking about how to have these sometimes awkward conversations with your kids and when to start (hint: way earlier than you think).

Elizabeth taught elementary school for 10 years and brings such a practical, age-appropriate approach to breaking down these topics. She shares exactly what to say, how to say it, and how to make it a natural ongoing conversation instead of one terrifying "big talk."

We talk about the foundational conversations to have starting at age 4, how to correct messaging your kids have already heard, and what to do when you feel like you're already behind.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode uses correct anatomical language and discusses sex/sexuality topics. If you have young kids with you and aren't ready for them to hear these conversations yet, please listen to this episode first before playing it around them.

This episode is for you if:
• You know you need to talk to your kids about sex/gender but feel completely overwhelmed.
• You're worried your kids have already heard confusing or wrong messages.
• You don't know what's age-appropriate to share at different stages.
• You want to be the first voice your kids hear on these topics (not the world).
• You feel awkward and don't know how to make these conversations natural.
• You think your kids are too young but want to know when to start.

Elizabeth gives step-by-step guidance on the foundational truths to establish first, how to answer tough questions without oversharing, and how to build a biblical framework that will protect your kids as they grow.

Plus, practical tips on starting small, using available resources, and keeping the door open for ongoing conversations.

Remember: Preparation is protection. When we equip our kids with God's truth, we're not just protecting them from lies; we're helping them live with confidence in who God created them to be.
