God’s design for sex includes your questions and desires and hopes. But, if pornography was your sex-ed teacher, you absorbed imagery and ideas that changed your brain.
On top of that, your heart is probably holding onto shame too.
We live in a world where pornography is literally at our fingertips. If you started watching it as a kid, we hope the message is clear for you to stop blaming yourself for that early exposure. Those visuals should never play the role of teacher.
In fact, trusted adults are meant to be God’s provision to help kids begin to understand what sex is all about.
We hope this episode encourages you to ask God to untangle the good from the bad so you can walk more fully as the man or woman God designed you to be today.
Highlights:
Far too many of us have been shaped by porn in such a way that it’s changed our sexual templates.
Porn is highly addictive for adults. So, it’s all the more so for kids whose brains are still forming.
Parents need to own that giving a kid digital device is too heavy a responsibility because pornography can be so easily accessed on it.
