As part of the Gospel Gap series, hosts Kristen and Pete Hatton speak into the anxiety so many of us feel. Whether from current events of the world, personal circumstances, parenting or something else, our tendency is to want to control. God knows this, which is why more than any other command in the Bible, it is written, "Do no Fear."

As an antidote to our anxiety, Phillipians 4:4-9 is the passage of focus with an emphasis on the Lord being at hand and what it means to have his peace.

Host Kristen Hatton visits with Megan Michelson, one of the Birds and Bees duo, on talking to our kids about sex and pornography. Megan recommends that the earlier we start the conversations the better. Key word- conversations,plural. No longer should we think about it as THE talk, but an ongoing and open dialogue that we have early and often. The idea is to establish ourselves as our children's primary and trustworthy source, as well as to demystify their curiousity that will own grow if left unspoken about.

Furthermore, research shows first exposure to pornography happening at earlier and In the conversation Megan also addresses the fear many parents have surrounding the topic of sex because of their own sexual past. She also speaks to the parent who didn't start the conversation early, offering great tips on how to get started and hope to see it's not too late.
