HealingLives with Corey Gilbert

Gilbert, C. (2019). I can't say that: Going beyond the talk: Equipping your children to make choices about gender and sexuality from a biblical sexual ethic. 

TAKING INVENTORY

 In this episode, Dr. Gilbert speaks to parents who are walking with their children through "normal" developmental issues as well as more complex issues such as gender, sexuality, and body issues.  Deuteronomy 6:6-7 instructs parents on the importance of having regular, consistent times of instruction with their children on the as they are going about the routine schedule of their day.  Much of this instruction will be planting seeds that take root as they listen to our words and observe our own behavior.  When the time comes for your children to make their own choices, will you have prepared them to make a decision from a biblical sexual ethic or will their decision come from what they have been taught by peers and the media they consume?  

Parents, our children are watching us all the time and they are silently observing they way we relate to work, interact with other people, engage in a higher purpose, and take care of our physical and mental health.  We must first take inventory of where we are in relationship to these things so that we can be a model of consistency and integrity.

Your Health

            Are you taking care of yourself?  Physically, mentally, emotionally?

In this episode, Dr. Gilbert outlines his new book and workbook that equips parents to learn and instill in others a Biblical Sexual Ethic.  Having "The Talk" with our children is often too little too late, but engaging in hundreds of micro-conversations can be life changing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and college professor. One of the best parts of my job is talking to young adults who are away from home and on their own for the first time.  In our conversations, I find that many of them have had little to no instruction from their parents on sex, sexuality, or the issues that surround these topics.  As a result, they are making decisions that take them down paths which lead them further from the goals they have for their future.  

By the time most parents get around to having "the talk" with their children, it is too late.  Their sexual ethic has already been formed by their peers, media, and what they silently observed in their home. I want to encourage parents to have multiple conversations - "micro-conversations" - that go beyond "the talk" and equip their children to make choices from a biblical sexual ethic.

When families realize that they are in crisis mode with a child or in their marriage, the cost of counseling is often a barrier that prevents them from getting the help they need.  The Family Launch Academy membership is is an affordable alternative I have created for parents that want to go beyond "The Talk!" The membership site includes training videos and other resources for parents. You will also find access to coaching, counseling and community with other parents that want the same for their children.
