In this episode of the Family Time segment,* I sit down with Norma Q-Brown, Director of our Family Care ministry to explore the sixth critical conversation in our series: "Leveraging Your Story." Norma and I discuss how parents can wisely and humbly share their personal testimonies with their children to build trust and connection around sexuality.

We cover practical tips on age-appropriate sharing, avoiding oversharing, and keeping God's redemptive power at the center of the conversation. Norma also shares eye-opening survey results revealing how fear keeps both parents and teens from opening up with each other.
