Parental Discretion Podcast

Conversations about sex, relationships, identity and God start at home.

A podcast for Christian parents and guardians who want to feel more confident talking with their kids about sexuality, relationships, identity and faith.

Hosted by 89.9 TheLight in partnership with Big Kids’ Table

Pull up a chair.

We’re excited to partner with PositiveMedia, home of 89.9 TheLight, to bring you Parental Discretion, a podcast helping Christian parents and guardians have honest, thoughtful and ongoing conversations with their kids about sex, relationships, identity and God.

Because healthy sexuality isn’t a one-off conversation. 

It’s something we disciple our kids in over time, through everyday conversations around the table, in the car, at bedtime and everywhere in between.

Why Parental Discretion?

As parents and guardians, we can sometimes feel like we’re supposed to have all the answers.

But when it comes to talking with our kids about bodies, sex, relationships, identity and faith, you don’t need to be an expert to start the conversation.

Parental Discretion was created to help adults:

Build confidence talking about sexuality and relationships
Understand how to have age-appropriate conversations
Reflect on the messages they received growing up
Think about how faith shapes the way we talk about sexuality
Develop an ongoing approach to sexual discipleship
Create a home where kids know they can ask honest questions

Remember

You don't need perfect answers.

You need an open heart, a curious mind and a place where the whole truth can be explored.

Conversations for the whole journey

Conversations for the whole journey

Across the first season, we explore topics and questions around:

Our own stories

Reflecting on the tables we were raised around and how our own experiences can shape the way we parent.

The world around us

Exploring the culture shaping young minds today, both within and outside of church walls.

Identity & sexuality

Navigating complex questions about identity, sexuality and culture with honesty, compassion and conviction.

Faith & discipleship

Considering what it means to sexually disciple our kids, and how everyday conversations can become opportunities for faith formation.

Parental Discretion  is available wherever you listen to podcasts.
