How do I talk to my child about pornography? (Dr. Denny Frederick) (Sexuality, 4 of 4) Oct 27, 2021

Show notes

It's undeniable, porn is ubiquitous and its effects saturate our culture. As parents, it's imperative that we're on the offensive when it comes to this issue. But, how? How can we begin having fruitful conversations around pornography? At what age is necessary and appropriate? What do we do if our child is already struggling with pornography addiction? We discussed these questions and more with our VERY special guest, Dr. Denny Frederick. Aside from being Ryan's favorite dad (only dad, really), he's been a counselor for over 30 years and helped thousands of patients in some of the darkest moments of their lives. He's also written a book called Conquering Pornography (available on Amazon.com) and helped countless parents and individuals navigate the mine-infested waters of modern-day sexuality and sexual addiction. We pray our conversation with Dr. Frederick blesses you. To learn more about the Fierce Parenting ministry, visit FierceParenting.com or find us on social media.

Approaching the "Sex Talk" (Sexuality, 1 of 4) Oct 06, 2021

Show notes

It's the talk most parents dread: the sex talk. But should we dread it? Or, is there another way to view, anticipate, plan for, and approach the subject of sex with our children? In this episode, we talk through ways we can approach the topic of sex biblically, courageously, and truthfully with our children. This is the first of a series we're doing on human sexuality and how we can begin honest, helpful conversations with our children in this tricky area.
