EP 118: Parenting in Today’s Culture: Truth + Love Without Fear w/ Laurie Krieg

About this episode

Megan Ashley and Laurie Krieg discuss parenting in today's culture, focusing on sexuality, love, and truth without fear or shame.

In Totality Podcast is back this week with a powerful conversation with Laurie Krieg on sexuality, surrender, marriage, parenting, and the love of God. As parents, many of us feel anxious or unprepared when it comes to conversations around sexuality, puberty, pornography, identity, and culture. Laurie gives such practical wisdom on how to talk to our children with truth, grace, clarity, and love without panic or shame. Laurie shares her testimony of wrestling with same-sex attraction, sexual brokenness, shame, and the deeper longings beneath desire: the need to be seen, known, chosen, and loved. Together, we talk about how those longings are ultimately met in Jesus, and how God’s love does not just expose what is broken, but empowers us to surrender, heal, and walk in freedom. This episode is for anyone who has struggled with shame, anyone who wants to better love people without compromising truth, and any parent, mentor, aunt, uncle, youth leader, or discipler aiming to guide the next generation with a gospel-centered view of sexuality.
