I’m planning to wrap up the series I began last week revolving around sex, pornography and Children’s Ministry on Monday and Tuesday. It’s been a great series as so many people have been so positive and have welcomed the conversation. I didn’t really expect any less. However, talking about this stuff is a little disappointing as it seems that most people agree that it’s a problem and very few people seem to be actively doing anything about it. Yes, talking to kids about this stuff is the parents job, but it doesn’t seem like many churches are really doing anything about helping parents have these vital talks at the age when it’s most important.
So, hopefully in these last few days of discussion, we’ll potentially cover some new territory. Here’s for being hopeful. 🙂
In case you missed any of the conversation, here are links to all the posts from last week.
- Sex, Porn and Children’s Ministry
- The Sex Talk: Are we waiting too late?
- Resources for the sex talk
- Don’t have the sex talk with your kids
- The perfect age to talk to your kids about sex
- Kids caught in the porn trap
This is all really good stuff Kenny. I am currently working on a project with Craig Gross from XXXChurch for a series for our students, but I think I’m going to open this discussion with him and see what resource we can create for kids and their parents. Like you’re suggested, I’d love something to help parents besides a whole book. I also am now thinking through which week in our elementary experience would be appropriate to add some conversation like the one you scripted out in leading kids to share. I know so many adults friends who might have been rescued from abuse or a porn trap if only someone would have asked the right questions in the right setting. The stats are worth it to me to make a few church kids blush a bit to help the ones already caught in that snare.
