***This episode briefly mentions some delicate topics. You may not want to have younger children listen with you. This is a hot topic in Christian circles, in culture, and in the news, but what does God actually say about what it means to be a man or a woman? And even when we understand it... how do we talk to our kids about it?!? Does the church need to adjust to meet different genders? How do we talk to our children about pornography and intimacy? Bryan and Krista of So That We, a biblical counseling practice, bring clarity to this truly important topic. Christian parents will receive practical wisdom for themselves, their marriages, their parenting, and for their witness to the watching world. Be sure to listen to part 1 of this conversation!Anxiety Demystified: A Biblical E-CourseEntrusted with a Child's Heart Videos for Couples
This is a hot topic in Christian circles, in culture, and in the news, but what does God actually say about what it means to be a man or a woman? Do we have to fit into a mold of Christian culture or is there flexibility for different personalities? What does it even mean to be made "in the image of God" and to be made "male and female". Bryan and Krista of So That We, a biblical counseling practice, bring clarity to this truly important topic. Christian parents will receive practical wisdom for themselves, their marriages, their parenting, and for their witness to the watching world.Scriptures Referenced: 2 Corinthians 1:3-5Genesis 1:27Genesis 2:18, 24Ephesians 5Titus 2Proverbs 31Matthew 22:36-40Galatians 5:19Books Recommended by Bryan (Full disclosure: Entrusted staff has not read these resources yet, but we want to offer the links since Bryan mentioned them. :) ):The Journey to Biblical MasculinityDialed InThe Measure of a Man
