What if the goal isn’t to bubble‑wrap your kids from a sexualized world, but to raise resilient, shame‑resistant disciples who know how to repair? James Craig sits down with our newest staff member and parenting resource lead, Blake Brinkman, to tackle five urgent questions parents are asking: shielding kids from porn, responding to rebellion, setting wise screen rules, navigating complexity, and leading from your own healing. Together we rethink control, anchor everything in the Incarnation, and show why exposure may be inevitable, but shame doesn’t have to be.

We dig into why porn hooks the developing brain, how rupture and repair build secure attachment, and what freedom looks like beyond fear tactics. You’ll hear practical steps—shared‑space devices, filtered networks, clear consequence ladders—and the crucial shift from one‑sided edicts to co‑created agreements that teach teens to self‑govern. We contrast healthy boundaries with rigid rules, explain how to talk about desire without panic, and point to trusted resources like Theology of the Body for connecting design, dignity, and delight.
