In a culture that’s increasingly vocal (and confusing) about identity, gender, and sexuality, how can Christian parents, grandparents, ministry leaders, and those in close proximity to children guide them with biblical clarity and confidence? In this episode, we’re joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz, educator, author, and founder of Foundation Worldview, to talk about her upcoming book, Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design: 40 Questions and Answers on Sexuality and Gender.

Show notes

I share the latest developments at the Orange Sunday school curriculum in this in-depth update. Explore the recent leadership transitions, including the resignation of co-founder Reggie Joiner and CEO Kristen Ivy, and the acquisition by the Amazing Life Foundation. This video critically examines Orange’s nine theological insights, highlighting concerns about vague theology, secular humanism, and lack of transparency in their content and team.

Show notes

Join Monique for an in-depth and thought-provoking interview with Erin Kunkle from MAVEN to explore a Christian perspective on gentle parenting. In this long-form conversation, they dive into the popular yet controversial parenting philosophy, examining its core pillars—empathy, respect, understanding, and boundaries—and how they align (or don’t) with biblical principles. Erin, a mother of five and co-host of the MAVEN Parent Podcast, shares her insights on the rise of gentle parenting, its appeal to millennial parents, and the potential dangers of its therapeutic approach when disconnected from a Christian worldview. From discussing the cultural pressures of social media to unpacking key scriptures on parenting, this episode challenges listeners to consider how God’s design for family, authority, and discipline contrasts with modern parenting trends. Key Questions: 👉 How does gentle parenting handle sin and the human condition? 👉 Can empathy and respect coexist with firm, loving discipline? 👉 What does it mean to raise children who fear the Lord in a world that rejects authority?
