Your kids are going to hear messages about gender, sexuality, and progressive Christianity—whether you talk to them about it or not. The question is: Will you be the one who teaches them first?

In this conversation with Alisa Childers (author of "Another Gospel" and former member of ZoeGirl), we're talking about what progressive Christianity actually is, why it's not just "minor differences in details," and how to prepare your kids to recognize false teaching when they hear it.

Alisa shares her own faith crisis story (spoiler: it started in a Bible Belt church with a deconstructed pastor), what makes progressive Christianity a different gospel entirely, and the specific conversations you need to have with your kids starting younger than you probably want to.

We talk about the two critical areas to get right (truth and sexuality), how to teach your kids to disagree with people and still love them, and why modeling matters more than lectures when it comes to LGBTQ friends and family.

This episode is for you if:
•You're worried your kids will lose their faith in college or the "real world"
•You don't feel equipped to teach theology to your kids
•You need to know how to talk about gender/sexuality without teaching hate
•You're concerned about what your kids are learning at church without you there
•You want to prepare your kids but don't know where to start
•You're confused about what progressive Christianity is and why it matters

Alisa gives practical guidance on starting conversations early (younger than you want to!), being the expert your kids turn to instead of Google, and why you can't assume Christian colleges are safe anymore.

Plus, the critical distinction between progressive revelation and progressive Christianity that changes everything.

Remember: Read the Bible and live by the Bible. When you ground your family in God's Word, you're giving them the foundation they need to stand firm.
