Episode 234: Your Parenting + Discipleship Q & A | Matt, Laurie, Steve
Hole In My Heart Podcast
Friday, January 17, 2025 - 50 minutes
To launch our spring season focused on parenting and discipling the next generation, we are starting with YOUR QUESTIONS.
We toss around:
“What parts of ‘the sex talk’ were helpful for us when we were growing up?”
“How can we protect our kids’ bodies without being a helicopter parent?”
“How can we approach school systems that don’t agree with our beliefs?”
“Should we talk to our kids about p*rn even if they don’t have unlimited access to the internet?”
Pull up an earbud and join us!
| Highlights |
- “My parents taught me, ‘You are not defined by your behavior by your sin. It does not identify you or define you.’ That was very helpful in critical moments.”—Steve O’Dell
- “One of the biggest indicators for how well people will recover from trauma is if they know they have a place they can come in the event that something does happen.”—Matt Krieg
- “If our kids are going to hear an unbiblical worldview of marriage and sexuality in their schools, they need to hear the gospel vision of marriage and sexuality in our homes ten times more.” —Laurie Krieg
