Uninvited Guests - Grace & Truth: Helping Our Kids Navigate Today’s Sexual Confusion, Part 1

Chip interviews Sean McDowell to tackle the conflict between the Bible and modern culture on sex and gender. They offer parents a practical roadmap to guide their children with biblical truth and compassion.

Key Topics:

• Your Initial Response: How to lead with love and preserve the relationship.
• Giving Yourself Grace: Avoiding the trap of self-blame and the "perfect parent" myth.
• Moving Forward: The power of asking questions and listening to understand.
• Holding Firm: How to balance unconditional love with biblical conviction.
• A Proactive Culture: Creating a safe home for conversations about faith and sexuality.
• Defending God's Design: Answering the "outdated Bible" objection with Scripture and reason.

Actionable Steps for Parents:

• Lead with Unconditional Love: Affirm your relationship first to establish a foundation of safety and trust.
• Listen More, Lecture Less: Ask thoughtful questions to understand their heart and experience, not just to correct them.
• Hold Firm with Grace: Maintain your biblical convictions with compassion, establishing loving boundaries without compromising truth.
• Build a Culture of Conversation: Intentionally create a home where it’s safe to discuss any topic before it becomes a crisis.
• Know the "Why": Be ready to explain the goodness and purpose behind God's design, not just the rules.
• Use Their Interests as a Bridge: Use your child’s passions (movies, hobbies, etc.) as a natural starting point for deeper conversations.
