What happens when our son is exposed to pornography at a young age? Or our daughter begins hearing about sex at school and asking you questions? Many of our own parents didn’t model for us how to have these difficult conversations with our kids. Not only that, our kids seem to be exposed to sex at even younger ages today.

In this episode, we revisit with Linda Noble and Linda Stewart, two leading voices helping parents talk to their children about body image and sex through THE Conversation Workshop. This is part two of a two part series.

In this episode, Linda and Linda discuss with us how to talk to our kids about sex through a simple, yet powerful framework of flourishing.

We discuss:

  • how to talk to our kids about difficult topics, like when they discover their private parts
  • why a Theology of the Body is an important framework for us as adults as well
  • age-appropriate ways–from preschool through the teen years–to talk to our kids about sex

In the show notes below, you can also gain access to free PDF downloads from THE Conversation Workshop that help you have these conversations with your kids.

One of the best ways to teach kids discipline is t One of the best ways to teach kids discipline is through fasting. It’s important for them to learn that when they fill their lives with stuff, they leave less room for God. Some of this stuff could be the use of unkind words, whining and complaining, devices, TV time, social media, sugary drinks or foods, and more.

In this 5 minute episode, Josh and Christi talk about a recent experience they had fasting as a family. They encourage your family to do the same as they provide helpful ways to do so.

What better time to do this than in the beginning of a new year?!

We hope you’ve been enjoying our “Best of” s We hope you’ve been enjoying our “Best of” series! Do you have an annoyance in your marriage that seems to rear its ugly head every now and again? That one issue that seems to block you and your spouse from being on the same team. In-laws. Finances. How you parent your kids. Where you spend the holidays. We all seem to have that one elephant. You know it’s there, but most of the time it’s hibernating in the cold, dark, corner of the basement, out of sight. Yet, every now and again, you feel the elephant coming up the stairs. Your reaction might be to pretend he’s not coming. Or it might be that you see him walk into your living room so you obviously have to talk about him. So you do. You argue about him. You try to find a way to get him back into your basement, out of sight, but you can’t agree on how to do that. 

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about their own elephant. They also give practical ways to finally address that one issue in your marriage and why talking about it actually takes away its power. For the sake of your marital intimacy, talk about the elephant.

One of the best ways to let go of stress and anxie One of the best ways to let go of stress and anxiety is through physical touch. Unfortunately, due to social distancing, it has been difficult for all of us to release as much oxytocin as we should. In this 5 minute episode, Josh and Christi share the power a 30 second hug with a loved one has on our day.
Yesterday’s acts at the Capitol building were re Yesterday’s acts at the Capitol building were reprehensible, a sobering reminder of the growing divisiveness and distrust in our nation. 

Our first thoughts were how do we explain what’s happening to our kids? How do we respond as a family to the growing division and distrust?

As citizens of heaven, we were taught to pray, “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” This is a prayer we pray with our children literally every single night—instilling in them allegiance to honor first and foremost the King of Kings and to live for Him.

We can’t be naïve though. We also live on the earth. 

At Famous at Home, we have friends and listeners from all over the world of varying political stances, beliefs, and persuasions. And we wouldn’t want it any other way. Those differing vantage points should make us stronger, not weaker. Unify us, not divide us. 

This can only happen though when we’re willing to “…be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. For human anger does not bring about God’s righteousness” (James 1:19-20, CSB).

 Keep in mind it was Jesus who told us to “seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matt. 6:33, NIV). 

However, His righteousness is the way of peace, not breaking federal laws. Jesus preaches, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matt. 5:9, NIV). Later, James writes, “Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness” (3:18, NIV). Jesus was killed having broken no governmental laws, only Pharisaical ones.

We believe the way forward for our kids and our families is to first look inward and upward. That always begins in prayer. This should be the case no matter who’s the president of your respective country, or what political party is in control. 

Second, seek to live righteous before the Lord. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne (Psalm 97:2). Let’s watch what we say about other people and how we act toward them, allowing peace to guide us.

Third, evaluate the fruit of your political stance. 

Our kids watch us more than the news!

Social distancing has given the Straubs a chance to really focus on the atmosphere of their home, both emotionally and spiritually. It’s made them a little more intentional, but also has brought a lot more fun to their home as well. 

In this episode, Josh and Christi talk about the practices they’ve been implementing in their home to cultivate their kids’ hearts and foster a healthy spiritual environment as a family.

Here are some highlights:

	1.	The misperception that spiritual growth begins with instruction
	2.	Why the spiritual environment of our home rises and falls of modeling
	3.	The transmitting power of relational warmth
	4.	How listening and asking questions of our kids influences the environment
	5.	Why worship changes the atmosphere of your home
	6.	The ways we teach our kids to listen to God’s voice
	7.	Why we need to take prayer seriously and be the spiritual covering for our kids
