In this Insights episode of Outside of Sunday, Laura and I unpack some of the big themes raised in Kristen’s conversation about protecting our kids in a world soaked in technology. We talk openly about our own first exposures to pornography, why it’s no longer just an “adult issue,” and how the internet has become the biggest gateway for children today.

We dig into practical questions every parent wrestles with - sleepovers, screens, first mention, and whether we want our kids learning from us or learning from Google. We also talk about what the Bible actually says about sex, how God designed it to be good, and how pornography distorts that design in really destructive ways.

This episode might feel a little too honest at times… but my prayer is that it gives you courage to have the hard conversations, wisdom to build real connection with your children, and confidence to walk with Jesus in the messy, modern world we’re navigating together.
