In Part 1 of the series on God’s Design for Sex, Lauren and Georgia explore one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian parenting: why does God care about sex, and why has the Church traditionally taught that it belongs within marriage?

Moving beyond simple rules and "because the Bible says so" answers, this episode unpacks the deeper wisdom behind God's design. Through Scripture, practical examples, and fascinating insights from neuroscience, we explore how sex was created for more than physical pleasure. It is designed for babies, beauty, and bonding.

You'll discover:
Why Jesus describes marriage as becoming "one flesh"
The powerful role of bonding hormones like dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin
How sex impacts our hearts, minds, emotions, and relationships
Why Christians believe sex belongs within the safety of covenant marriage
The difference between God's design for sex and the distortions we see in culture
How understanding the purpose of sex can help young people make wise, informed choices

Whether you’re a parent, guardian, youth leader, or educator, this conversation will help you move beyond fear, shame, and rule-based messaging toward a life-giving vision of sexuality that reflects God's goodness, creativity, and love.

Plus, Lauren and Georgia share practical reflection questions to help you consider your own story and prepare for meaningful conversations with the young people in your life.

The is podcast for Christian parents and guardians who want to talk about sex, relationships, and identity with their kids. Every home has a table, a place where stories, values, and faith are passed on. This podcast explores how this everyday space can become a model for discipleship and a foundation for healthy, hope-filled conversations about growing up. Created by Big Kids Table in partnership with Positive Media, the first season invites adults to not only discuss and learn how best to sexually disciple their children, but also reflect on the tables they were raised at their own experiences in this realm. The podcast aims to equip adults to work towards redeeming their own stories, build confidence, and offer age-appropriate, ongoing dialogue about bodies, relationships, and faith. You do not need perfect answers. You need open hearts, curious minds, and a place where the whole truth can be explored.  Pull up a chair and join us as we raise a generation of resilient disciples with healthy sexuality.
