If parents are silent about sex and sexuality, their children will be discipled by the culture. On this episode of HomeWord, Dr. Juli Slattery joins Dr. Jim Burns to talk about how parents can intentionally disciple their kids in biblical sexuality rather than simply providing sex education. Dr. Slattery—wife, mom, clinical psychologist, author, and speaker—explains why Scripture is not silent on sexuality and why parents shouldn’t be either. She unpacks the difference between education and discipleship, introduces the idea of “dad nuggets,” and encourages parents to be authentic and present in these conversations. This episode offers hope, biblical clarity, and practical tools to help families talk about sexuality in a way that reflects God’s design and redemption.
