There is no question that our current generation is saturated with pornography and the ideas that it presents about human worth and life's meaning. In this episode, Bryan sits down with Daniel Principe and discusses what is at stake if we don't see a massive shift from this epidemic.

Daniel is a youth advocate and educator with Collective Shout. He partners with schools and communities to challenge porn culture and the sexualization of women and girls. He works with boys and men across Australia to reimagine masculinity and embody a vision of manhood defined by virtue.

A former health professional, he has a background in public relations, marketing, and media, and has worked as an advisor in politics and the non-profit health sector. He recognizes the urgent need to help equip young people to recognize the impacts of harmful messaging from social media, advertising, pop culture and the global porn industry. He helps young people see how these cultural forces fuel distorted ideas and attitudes about bodies, relationships and sex. Daniel encourages young people to resist these harmful messages and to be courageous as they aspire to something far better for their lives and relationships.

Daniel has presented to hundreds of schools and organizations to help parents and communities raise healthy, resilient and empathetic young people. Daniel hosts Collective Shout’s podcast ‘Reimagining Masculinity’ and is a regular on TV and radio programs.

Government and media have become two of the greatest influencers over culture, and they seem to be pushing a strong message of moral relativism. As followers of Christ, will we let our lives be formed by Scripture and pass our values on to our children? Or will we throw up our hands and give in to ideologies that seek to blur all lines of gender design?

In this podcast episode we talk about:

⁃ How we must always remember that these struggles are not actually against fellow humans, but against spiritual enemies and strategies

⁃ How the church can become a place that celebrates the unique nature of being male and female, understanding not just biological differences, but also physiological differences

⁃ How parents can teach their children a biblical view on gender, while also encouraging compassionate interactions with kids who identify as non-binary

⁃ Practical ways that parents can support their children’s God-given gender design

Uncertain. Overwhelmed. Trying their best. This is how father’s today are feeling about raising their sons, according to research by the Barna Group.

In this episode, Bryan sits down with Jon Tyson to discuss:

- The impact that can be made in the life of the next generation by the presence of a father.

- What hangs in the balance when fatherhood continues to disintegrate.

- The need for a purposeful plan of discipleship in order to raise sons that impact their community.

And more!

In his book, The Intentional Father: A Practical Guide to Raise Sons of Courage and Character, author and pastor of Church of the City in New York City, Jon Tyson, has the antidote to that. He walks dads through practical steps to mentor young men who know what they believe, know who they are, and will stand up against the negative cultural trends of our day.

Leaders face a cost when they raise their voices on the topics of sexuality and morality. But never forget that the cost of silence is far higher.

And the young generation desperately needs us to pay that price and give them some kind of bearing. Give them some guidance through the minefields of moral relativism, identity crisis, and walking your way back from heartache and shame.

God never shied away from the topics around sexuality that can make us blush and squirm in church auditoriums or Bible study classrooms.

In this episode, Bryan and Bonnie talk about:

- the pressures that church leaders are facing

- the topics that the next generation desperately need some wisdom on

- the link between spiritual awakening and sexual wholeness

- how you can take one step forward this year for the sake of your church community

One of the major challenges as a parent, who follows Christ, is to raise your children in such a way that they grow to genuinely love Him too.

In this episode we sit down for part 2 of our conversation with our friend Jim Anderson, to hear wisdom and practical tips on how Jim and his wife Lisa have raised 8 children to love Jesus.

We recently sat down with long time friend a mentor Jim Anderson and talked about the unique story of how his ministry began. God had put a burden in his heart for protecting the unborn and over the years of work in this arena God begin to reveal the connection between abortion and the increase in sexual brokenness within culture.

Jim Anderson has been married to Lisa for 41 years and has 8 wonderful grown children.

He and Lisa lead Sexuality Unmasked, a worldwide ministry dedicated to releasing God's truth, healing, and restoration in the areas of sexuality and relationships.

He is also the author of the book "Unmasked: Exposing the Cultural Sexual Assault".

In this conversation with Erin Clark, a homeschooling mama of 3, we talked about the irreplaceable role that a mother plays in her family, as well as some of the biggest obstacles we face in trying to remember this calling.

In this podcast episode, she shares -

• How it was her 6-year-old daughter’s struggle in school that led them to homeschool (long before homeschooling was cool)

• One of her main goals of home education

• The need to have and hold to a vision statement for yourself as a mother

• How jealousy of other peoples’ callings (including your husbands) could derail your focus

• The need for relational intentionality with our kids in order to have safe places for ongoing conversations about sex and self-worth

Erin Clark, her husband Mark, and her three daughters live in western B.C. where they planted The Village Church in 2009. She is the host of the podcasts “The Good, the Bad, and The Beautiful”, as well as “Homeschooling with Erin Clark”.

Like an inheritance that grows exponentially, God loves to see one generation release blessing onto the next.

Adversely, the Bible talks about a spiritual enemy who does everything in his power to divide generations and cut off God's design for the young.

Too often we are short-sighted and impatient, wanting to experience personal ease at the expense of the younger generation.

In this episode, we look at Scripture to see:

⁃ How God’s promises can find fulfillment in our children and children’s children

⁃ How our investment into other generations can release healing and blessing in our nations

⁃ How we must face our own pain and dysfunctions for the sake of our own children and anyone we influence.

God is commissioning His followers to lean into the temporary discomfort and be resolute in sexual morality and righteousness, for the sake of the next generation.
The health of a nation is as strong as the church, as strong as the families, as strong as the marriages, as strong as the young men/women

1. God thinks generationally with a desire to increasingly BLESS (Abraham, promise comes to him, but isn’t fulfilled until Joseph)

2. The enemy hates the young generation. Targets the foundations to cause suffering.

3. To invest in the young generation (your children) is to invest in the kingdom (too often we are short-sighted, impatient)

4. Redemption always possible with Christ. (Sin of fathers to 3rd and 4th generation, but His mercy to the 1000th generation)

In this episode, Bryan and Bonnie discuss why guarding the innocence of your children is so vital. They talk about the practicalities of how to do it in an authentic and life-giving way.
