build a foundation for your kids
Pass down the good news of your body and sexuality to your children. There are simple ways to have big conversations. Realizing it’s not about a “sex talk," you can be equipped to disciple your children with frequent touch points, vulnerability and humility.
Purposefully plant seeds of God’s word into the hearts of your children.
Teaching your children about sex, gender and their body can seem overwhelming, especially in today’s culture. Yet, God is a good Creator, full of peace, joy and celebration. You can choose to see chaos and become afraid, living in fear and becoming paralyzed. Or, you can choose to see the power and the beauty of God.

You can offer offer our children language to celebrate the body, to see the goodness of how God created them, as a boy or a as a girl, with meaning and intention. He gave them a body, a gender and made them sexual with great care and celebration. With shared language, you can make big theology simple for your children.
As you begin to share the good news with our children, they are able to see the goodness of how they were made and the power of being an image bearer. They are better equipped to know the truth and share God’s goodness, even in the midst of confusion they see in the world.

behind Heaven in Your Home Family Music
Heaven in Your Home Family Music is a beautiful collaboration with Kathryn Brunner.
It all started a few years ago. I wanted to purposefully plant seeds of God’s word into my kids’ hearts, especially in light of the cultural confusion around sexuality. So I made up a little rap based on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Those verses declare that our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit and that we are to glorify God with our bodies.
The catchiness of the rap caught on and all of my kids not only sing it while we’re in the kitchen or in the car, but that rap launched us into countless deeper conversations about the significance of God’s design, His heart for us, and His amazing plan for how we live in our bodies as male and female.
My friend Kathryn, a seminary trained singer-songwriter and music educator, immediately caught the vision for this project. It was beyond my imagination of what was possible.
Kathryn is fiercely passionate about equipping families to walk faithfully in the truth of God’s word. Heaven in Your Home Family Music is an outworking of that passion. With an educator’s mindset, she is also driven to help children grow in an understanding of music to equip them to serve their communities and the world.
