Sexual Integrity- Youth Prevention
S-E-X-. Those three letters put together can cause such a variety of reactions from people of all ages. Yet, in a Godly home, we are called to “bring truth to light” and deal directly with those things that cause us anxiety.
This section is dedicated to provide support and resources to help youth, teens and parents be proactive in their discussions and help prevent unnecessary struggle from such a normal and spiritually designed area of our lives.
Common Things I Help With in My Office...
-
“I know there are a lot of temptations in my life and I’m trying to follow God’s way, yet I struggle.”
-
“I’ve been struggling with inappropriate material yet I can’t be honest with my parents about it.”
-
“I’ve been feeling pressured to be more sexual, yet I don’t want to disappoint my parents, myself, or God.”
-
“We’re concerned our children have too much exposure to inappropriate material and we want to help protect them.”
-
"We don’t know the best way to discuss sexuality and temptations with our children, especially because we have struggled with it ourselves growing up.”
