Outside of Sunday

• Episode 151 - Insights on S*x, P*rnography, and the Power of First Mention

  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.Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. 0:00 - Coming up0:51 - Welcome and initial reactions to Kristen’s episode2:01 - How I first found out about Good Pictures Bad Pictures5:30 - “Pornography used to be an ‘adult’ issue - it’s not anymore”7:27 - The only reason pornography has become an issue for children: technology8:41 - Is technology and the internet bad?

• Episode 147 - Insights on Christian Parenting

  In today’s Insight episode, we’re reflecting on part one of our chat with Charlotte and talking about why it’s so valuable to hear from believers across the Christian spectrum - different backgrounds, different traditions, and different stages of their walk with Jesus.But our main reflection today is all about Christian parenting. We dive into the swirl of online parenting advice, talk about why discipline isn’t the same as abuse, look at what Ephesians 6 teaches us, and chat through the difference between raising kids who truly love and know Jesus versus “good little Pharisees.” We also touch on our daily need for Jesus - not just to save us (justify) but to grow and shape (sanctify) both us and our children.Oh… AND we are redrawing our giveaway winner at the end.
