DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TOPIC OF SEXTING, THIS EPISODE CARRIES A PG-13 RATING.

Sexting is a new an strange phenomena to most of us. It is one example of how technology is creating some very unwelcome issues that we Christians need to carefully think through, especially as the issue of sexting relates to our families.

In this episode of the podcast I had a great conversation with Luke Gilkerson. Luke is the Internet Community Manager at Covenant Eyes, a company that provides internet accountability and filtering software. Luke's interaction with me was a great blessing, and I especially enjoyed his focus on the role parents need to play in their children's lives in relation to issues like sexting. Communication is vital, and parents must work extra hard to make sure that their relationships with their children remain open, so that these kinds of issues can be discussed in helpful ways that honor Christ.[/gn_note]
