Talking about sex and God doesn't have to be so... awkward 🫢 uncomfortable 🥴 difficult 😬 embarrassing 😳 risky 😳 shameful 🫠 hard 😭 terrifying 😱 weird 😵💫 stressful 🤯 yuck 🤢
Faith inspired sex education and conversation.
Thanks for being so willing to lead us in thinking and action at our recent conferences. Your willingness to invite us, as broken, nervous adults to the "Big Kid's Table" of honest and transparent conversation in regards to sexuality was refreshing and challenging.
I am so excited to endorse Big Kids' Table in their endeavour to bring to the table the crucial topic of sexual and reproductive health, fully aware of our God who loves us and gives us purpose and identity.
I wish I had the opportunity to listen to be apart of such a program when I was in Year 11. I left with some relief knowing that as a Christian high school teacher, I am not the only avenue where my students can access this information.
Their biblical and gospel focused teaching paired so beautifully with a clear heart to see young people liberated from shame and condemnation, which gave such honour and dignity to each of our youth.

A key takeaway for me is that parents were searching for this conversation and that creating the space for them to listen, engage and reflect was priceless. It was a big step particularly for our subcontinental families ... but the openness in which they engaged was a big plus.
St Johns Youth
I felt the session was helpful, balanced and engaging.
Georgia was outstanding ... and built so much trust and rapport with our parents - her knowledge and experience were evident ... and brought so much credit to the conversation. Lauren and the rest of the team were all outstanding as well and their passion for the issues being spoken about was authentic and powerful.

Thanks BKT for an engaging and challenging workshop! It encouraged us to keep talking openly and honestly with our kids about sexuality as we go about our everyday life.

BKT did not disappoint. The evening was so insightful – there were no rules or ‘rights and wrongs’ – a clear and relevant discussion about the challenges our children face and how we can navigate as parents

BKT’s involvement in our youth ministry has resulted in a positive culture shift as we move towards relational discipleship in our community and I commend them to any organisation wanting to see young people step into the world with a resilient faith that works in the culture they live in.

Having heard about you guys from friends and following along on social media, I really enjoyed actually being at one of your sessions. It was authentic, personal, well thought out and I really appreciated the discipline and coaching i observed between Lauren and Teaha throughout the evening.
C.I.A. Youth
It felt like a safe environment to talk and ask questions and all the members of BKT were very welcoming.
Now being in my first relationship, I’m unlearning a lot of the toxic 'christenese' dating culture. Which I am so thankful for BKT because it’s like having an older sister that gives you genuine and authentic information!!
One of the leaders just told me that’s the best thing he has ever done on this topic – out of all the talks at school and youth and stuff like that – by far the best one! Thanks again – such good nights and everything I was hoping they would be and more.
Emerge Youth
I really enjoyed the Big Kids Table session, normally these types of things are safe places, but tonight felt like a safe space to open up and talk about these things.
It helped us be aware of the cultural messages your kids are getting and about sex and also seeing sex from a Godly perspective. Highly recommended.

Speaking about this topic in a loving, refreshing, God honouring way that made everyone feel safe and comfortable was what we were hoping for, and it is exactly what we got. All the content was so well put together and flowed so well.

The workshop was terrific and the presenters were very relatable. Information was important and helpful. Topic is challenging for many [students] but does not mean they should not hear about it. Thank you BKT.
The BKT team presented Biblical views of sex and relationships in an open, relatable manner for students...The workshop enabled students to discuss their thoughts in a non-threatening, relaxed environment, with many valuable conversations facilitated.
You guys need heaps more followers, such an amazing page and ministry. I've told a few people about it. Has been really impactful for me!
They fully catered the experience to our schools needs and this showed with student’s active engagement through the entire workshop. They’re now an integral role in our school’s sex education.
I feel honoured to be a part of a church that values the importance of educating our young people about such important topics like sexuality, respecting their bodies, consent, body image, social media etc.
I think the school should run the session again because it sets St Andrews students apart and gives them more insight/wisdom.
The sessions were extremely relevant and fun, while delivering sensitive but truthful messages about God and sex. The BKT team were very gifted at engaging our students, communicating in a way that invited great conversations with the students and around the table groups.

The pin-drop silence in the room when pornography was being discussed by the BKT Team. As teachers, when this phenomenon happens, we know it's because it's something that students can relate to, which indicates that this is a topic that is very relevant and widespread.
I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the work you guys are doing. Keep it up!!! I really appreciated what you cover and how comfortable I feel asking all sorts of questions. Thank you BKT team.
Everything was perfect, nothing could be done better.
This was such a good night. Of all the sex ed workshops and talks I have had over my years at school and in youth this was by far the best. Highly recommend.
Emerge Youth
Okay ladies, I love your work and vision. I wanted to share my story with you guys because I’m so grateful you’ve created a place where I feel safe sharing with you guys and I want to honour that. I so love and am inspired by your passion for Jesus!
The presenters were very engaging, professional and easy to listen to. They had many helpful tips for different ways that parents can talk to their kids about sex and God's point of view.
Sound familiar?
🤔 People know Christians often save sex for marriage, but have no clue why…
😔 Young Christians feel uncomfortable and unsure exploring their sexuality because it feels ‘dirty’, taboo or even sinful…
🐝 No one in your community has ever explained why God made sex work the way that He did…
😳 You just feel super awkward talking about sex with, like, any other human…
💬 There’s been past confusion and/or pain when talking about God and sex with other Christians, individuals of the LGBTQIA+ community, and/or those who have different sexual ethics…
😬 You’ve been asked questions about God and sex and you just didn’t know what to say…
If you responded to any of those with a “YES!”, we’ve got you.
We’ve been there.
After decades spent in youth ministry and Christian high school education, our directors realised something:
Christians can really suck at talking about sex!
Big Kids’ Table was born out of a desire to change this.
So, you may be thinking... who are these guys?
Look, we get it. Sex is a hard, awkward, and tricky topic to navigate, especially with young people within a Christian environment. You must be suspicious of this shameless Christian organisation that wants to talk about this stuff with your young people.
In such a sexualised and secular culture like Australia, we completely understand your reservations.
However, let us put your mind at ease. Our team is made up of qualified professionals with a strong commitment and love for Jesus.

Free bible study guide
We’ve designed a devotional Bible study to help young people in your community begin the journey of unpacking their beliefs about sex, relationships, and God.
This study will equip people with scripture, challenge their picture of their identity, and reveal the character of God and His revelations about sex.
We made it a brief overview on purpose. This study is just the beginning!
Welcome to the process. Just remember, sex is good, and so is God.
