Embrace Webinar #27 – Amber Caroll
Christian Parenting in a Sex-Obsessed Culture
October 5, 2022
Additional Resources
- Many Christian parents/caregivers hesitate to talk to their young kids about sexuality. EQUIP’s Parent Course “Kids + Sexual Stewardship” was developed to:
- Equip parents/caregivers of kids ages 2-12 with a deep familiarity with God’s wisdom for sexual stewardship for all people
- Provide practical guides for age-appropriate conversation with kids, broken down by age group
This six-session course covers the following topics:
- How has God made each of us for intimacy in the context of family?
- What are God’s good designs for vocational singleness and Christian marriage?
- How can parents/caregivers have proactive and reactive conversations about sexual stewardship for all people?
- How can parents/caregivers share God’s love and wisdom for gay people?
- How can parents teach their kids to live into God’s good wisdom regarding biological sex and gender?
By EQUIP
Parent Conversation Starters help parents/caregivers begin intentional dialogue about sexuality with children and teens. Each Starter includes step-by-step instructions for parents/caregivers to (1) prepare for conversation and (2) initiate conversation, broken down by age-group (ages 2-5, 6-10, 11+). These starters are just that—starters. These are not meant to be one-and-done conversations, but rather a place to begin ongoing conversation.
With Pieter Valk
This webinar explores how our churches can become places where gay Christians thrive in celibacy or a mixed-orientation marriage. Explore practical steps pastors can take to teach what the Bible has to say about celibacy and marriage, help teens and young adults discern God’s call for their life, support gay Christians as they step into celibacy or a mixed-orientation marriage, and continue to celebrate their callings.
