In this episode of the Union Podcast, Bryan and Bonnie Pue reflect on 2025 and the cultural realities shaping families today before confronting one of the most urgent challenges parents face: talking honestly about sexuality, identity, and relationships. Introducing Bonnie's new book, Awkward: Conversations About Sex and Culture, they challenge the idea that silence protects children and instead call parents to lead with courage, clarity, and presence. The conversation moves from why these discussions matter to when and how to start them, addressing age-appropriate topics and the real barriers parents face—including shame, fear, and unresolved past experiences. The hosts also engage cultural pressures surrounding gender ideology, urging parents not to outsource formation to culture. The episode closes with a direct charge to parents: become students of your children, seek wisdom over comfort, and engage the hard conversations now—because formation is already happening.
