We always love conversations with people who truly understand the complexities of human sexuality, and today’s guest is no exception. Author and podcaster Greta Eskridge joins us to help parents and caregivers navigate one of the most challenging discipleship conversations of our time: pornography.

Together, we explore how to thoughtfully and faithfully engage the topic of porn while leading the younger disciples in our lives with wisdom, clarity, and compassion.

In this episode, we discuss:

What to do when we feel unequipped to talk with our kids about pornography

Why these conversations need to start earlier than most of us expect

The specific words that are helpful before and after a child encounters porn

Whether punishment is ever the right response when a child watches porn repeatedly

How heart needs—not just curiosity—can drive teens toward pornography

How to engage a culture that celebrates porn while forming resilient, Christ-shaped kids

This conversation is practical, honest, and deeply hopeful for anyone raising or discipling kids in a sexually broken world.

People have 70,000 thoughts per day and about 80% of them are negative.

What is that doing to our emotional health? What is that doing to our actions? How is that affecting our very DNA?

Global bestselling author and pastor, Max Lucado, is here to help us understand not only the science behind our thoughts but the heart beneath them. 

How can we “take every thought captive?”

How does something like anxiety and depression factor in?

Is this just plastering a smile on a bad day or a rough life?

Let’s talk about it all.
