In this homily, delivered on October 12, 2025, Dcn.

Fourth, have an open and honest conversation with kids about the problem when they have reached an appropriate age. Fifth, use resources such as Covenant Eyes to learn more ways to navigate this difficult issue. Lastly, talk with other parents and families to get support and further ideas about combating the issues. Dcn. Peter ends with a word of hope: Jesus wants abundant life for us and our kids, so we can turn to Him to help us live in freedom and protect our families.
