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.
