Understanding the Biblical foundations of Christian parenting and Christian marriage can be difficult and overwhelming. In Better Together, hosts DJ and Lorrie address share their 25 years of marriage and parenting experience to cover topics such as Biblical discipline, compassion in the home, understanding your spouse, marriage intimacy, and the commands to love and respect your spouse.
The culture of this world uses sexual language, sexual imagery, and sexual innuendos at every turn. Raising Christian children in a hyper-sexualized culture can be difficult...however, the Scriptures give us clear guidance on how to protect our kids from the sexual pressures of this world.
1. Try the spirits of your entertainment
-cartoons, pop-culture, music, movies...
-We have to accept that the entertainment of the world is not neutral...nothing is neutral!
-You can no longer let your kids just sit down in front of the Saturday Morning cartoons with the expectation that what they are watching is wholesome...they are being influenced!
2. Must have open conversations with our children
Develop an atmosphere where your kids turn to you for answers.
Develop a culture of "trying the spirits" in your home through conversation and consistency.
3. For boys...protect your eyes
Help your young men develop a proper view of women as special and to be honored.
You can help accomplish this by teaching respect and proper treatment of the sisters in the home.
Help them understand the danger of pornography and sexual imagery..and how what they view is damaging long-term
4. For girls...protect your heart
Help them set boundaries as to what will influence their heart (reading, listening, friends)
Guide them in developing their inner person...becoming the best "you" that you can become
